Chicken-Scrambled Tofu

Chicken-Scrambled Tofu

　　The “scrambled” (哈) in Chicken-Scrambled Tofu is a word in Guizhou dialect meaning “to grab and mix around.” This hot pot combines homemade soft tofu with Guizhou cuisine’s signature dish, “Spicy Chicken” hot pot. In the end, a spoon is used to “scramble” the tofu into pieces, allowing the flavors of the whole hot pot to blend evenly. The hot pot presents a pleasing contrast of red and white, with an inviting color that fully showcases its key characteristics: aroma, spiciness, and tenderness. The chicken is juicy without being greasy, the tofu is silky smooth, and the broth carries a spicy flavor enhanced by the umami of the chicken and the fragrance of ginger and garlic.
