Development history of tofu

China is the birthplace of tofu. According to legend, the mother of Liu An, the king of Huainan (BC 177- 122), likes to eat soybeans. Once my mother couldn't eat the whole soybean because of illness, so Liu An asked people to grind the soybean into powder. Afraid that the powder was too dry, they rushed into some water and cooked it into soybean milk, but they were afraid that the taste was light, so they added some brine. The result turned into a lump, which is tofu flower.

Huainan Wang's mother was very happy to eat it, and her condition improved, so tofu was handed down. The making of tofu was probably invented by Liu An when he organized alchemy. Alchemists used many minerals and inorganic salts in alchemy, and occasionally found that gypsum or other salts could solidify soybean milk into tofu.
