Excipients: 30 grams of salt, 1 small handful of Sichuan peppercorns, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil

Step 2: Put water in a pot and put it on the fire, add about 30 grams of edible salt and 1 small handful of peppercorns to boil over high heat. (The amount of water depends on the size of the container containing the tofu, so it is best to touch the tofu.)

Step 3: After boiling the water in the pot, change to low heat and cook for ten minutes, boil the pepper fragrant, turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 4: When drying the peppercorn water, process the tofu, and cut the northern tofu directly into large thick slices about 1 cm thick and put them into the crisper box.

Step 5: Pour in the boiled pepper water, cover the fresh-keeping box and simmer tightly, cool thoroughly and put it in the refrigerator for one to two days to let it taste.

Tips for buying tofu:

1. The color of normal tofu should be slightly yellowish, if it is too dead white, it may have added bleach, and it is not suitable to buy;

2. Smell the smell directly at room temperature. High-quality tofu has the characteristic aroma of tofu. The aroma of inferior tofu is bland. Inferior tofu has bad odors such as beany smell, rancid smell or other foreign odors.

3. Good boxed lactone tofu has no void in the box, the surface is flat, no bubbles, no water, no shaking when shaken in the hand, and a little bean aroma can be smelled when the box is opened.

4. Tofu digestion is slow, and children with indigestion should not eat more.
