Topic: Doufu


In the News (Sun 29 Nov 09)

  
  Mapo doufu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mapo doufu (Chinese: 麻婆豆腐); pinyin: Mápó dòufu) is a popular Chinese dish from the Szechuan (Sichuan) province.
It is a combination of tofu (bean curd) and meat, usually pork, in a slightly spicy (hot) bean-based sauce, sometimes with other ingredients such as water chestnuts, onions, or wood ear fungus.
True Mapo doufu can be found in selected Szechuan restaurants in the United States and is powerfully spicy with both conventional "heat" spiciness and the characteristic "ma-la" spiciness of Szechuan cuisine.

Dubu (doufu), either plain or sauteed, or a leaf of lettuce may be added, or beef may be substituted with chicken or seafood.
Doufu(豆腐) or bean curd is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks.
Doufu is low in calories, contains beneficial amounts of iron (especially important for women of child bearing age) and has no cholesterol (a risk factor for heart disease).

The curd or soy cheese is called doufu by the Chinese and is a product made by boiling soy milk, adding a precipitating agent such as calcium sulfate, separating out the precipitate or curds, and finally, pressing the solids into molds.
The Chinese refer to doufu as 'meat without the bones' or 'meat of the fields.' And just as one does with meat, they use it in dozens of forms and in hundreds, perhaps thousands of recipes.
Be it called doufu or tofu, bean curd is a culinary chameleon that takes on flavors and seasonings of anything with which it is cooked.

 The unbearable lightness of beancurd [ SOUTHCN.COM ]
Doufu is made by grinding cooked soya beans until a milk is produced, which is then solidified with calcium sulfate.
In cooking, doufu acts like a sponge and has the miraculous ability to soak up any flavour that is added to it.
Guangzhou's most popular doufu dishes are perhaps you doufu (fried oily doufu), which are often filled with pork mince for stewing, and plain white doufu which is widely used in dishes such as a home-style quick fry up together with vegetables such as tomato or even a fish head.

You are right doufu "whores should be in pubs" but, since the number of foreigners living or just visiting Shanghai is growing and there is a big competition among the increasing number of local hookers, you can find them anywhere even you are not looking for them.
I agree with you doufu, 4 people is ideal for language exchange, at least it can be a sort brainstorm chat with different opinion about a word, an idiom, or even grammer.
Doufu has made a lot of biased statements and I disagree to most of things that she said.

 Asia Food Glossary Page
Known in China as doufu and in Japan as tofu, there are several basic kinds.
The Chinese make a soft variety, doufu nao - literally 'bean brain' - from soy milk that has barely coagulated and is therefore softer than, and not as smooth as Japanese kinugoshi.
Chinese style tofu (doufu, bean cake) sold as squares in water-packed containers, is creamy-white and firm enough to cut and hold its shape.

 Tofu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tofu, also called Doufu (often in Chinese recipes) or bean curd (literal translation), is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks.
The making of tofu from soy milk is similar to the technique of making cheese from milk.
The primary evidence for this theory lies with the etymological similarity between the Chinese term for Mongolian fermented milk (rufu, which literally means “milk spoiled”) and the term doufu or tofu.

Chou Doufu is another such example, literally meaning “stinky/smelly tofu”; however, neither “stinky” nor “smelly” even comes close to describing it.
More specifically, Chou Doufu is regular tofu that has been allowed to rot and fester until it reaches a state so foul that it cannot even be described in the English language.
Chou Doufu is a menace, a plague upon society.

 History of Tofu
Called doufu gan ("dry tofu") in China, where it originated, this tofu is pressed under great pressure until its consistency is about as firm as that of cheese.
Today most such tofu in China is prepared very simply by cutting firm tofu into either 1-inch cubes or 2.5-inch triangles and deep-frying it in one temperature of oil, or it may be cut on both sides in a special criss-cross pattern so that it forms a "net" after deep-frying.
Called shui doufu, it was curded with calcium sulfate; nothing of its history is known.

Part of the scene clearly depicts the preparation of soymilk and tofu, suggesting that they were being made in northern China during the eastern/later Han period, 25-220 A.D. Tofu is first mentioned in China in a document by T'ao Ku.
It states, "In the daily market were several catties of Doufu.
People of the region called Doufu 'the vice mayor's mutton.' " The document tells the story of a vice mayor named Jishu, who was so poor that he couldn't afford to buy mutton.

The thickest doufu "sheets" that I am familiar with is "baiye." This requires a lot of technological intervention, as the kids from Connecticut found out.
The versatile "baiye" sheets, in fact, are very widely used in Shanghainese home cooking, usually cut into fetuccini type strips and braised with meat or veggies, or tied into figure 8 shapes or just plain knots and used in soups and braised dishes.
Actually it is silken doufu, which is one and the same I suppose.

Pressed beancurd is fresh beancurd that has been compressed until almost all the liquid has been squeezed out, leaving a solid block with a smooth texture.
This is made by fermenting fresh beancurd on beds of rice straw then drying the curd in the sun before marinating with salt, alcohol and spices.

 Doufu/Tofu - Page 2 - Chinese-forums.com
Tofu is basically a bland and soft (though highly nutritious) food item that has to be mixed accordingly with other stronger flavor sauces/meat/seafood to be tasteful.
Doufu was invented in 200 B.C. in China (I would say ancient Chinese were very intelligent in inventing doufu since the process is quite complicated) and exported to Japan in the 8th Century.
I heard that it was invented by the daoists in the process of searching for the golden pill of immortality.

On my recent visit to Guangdong (Canton), I experienced for the first time the delicious, fresh, very soft, morning doufu, (tofu), called, Doufu Nao, (Brain Tofu), due to its resemblance to the convoluted folds of the brain.
This doufu is too soft to "set" or "gel", as less coagulant is used to make it.
The curds of my doufu are not "billowy" enough.

Red doufu-ru (hung doufu-ru, nanru, nanyu) is identical in preparation to the white, except that fermented red rice is added to the pickling liquor, imparting a rich red color, thick consistency and different flavor and aroma.
Tsao-dofu, famous for its strong odor, includes: chu-tsao, which is in rice wine and wine lees, and the green tofu so popular in Taiwan, ch'ou doufu ('foul-smelling tofu'), made from pressed tofu squares aged with rice wine lees to which has been added crushed leaves and a green.
Despite its overpowering aroma, slimy texture, unappetizing color and the unfortunate odor it leaves on the breath, those brave enough to partake of it consider it a delicacy.

 j.w. in china
The Chinese have this favorite food of theirs that the foreigners like to call "stinky doufu." The Chinese call it Chou Doufu, but even the Chinese have started calling it stinky, even though they don't think it smells bad.
Just so that you realise that the sense of scents is not completely objective, but is actually a subjective, personal experience, the Chinese think that onions smell terribly awful, and they hate it when i eat one around them.
But nothing compares to "stinky doufu" which was even at one time banned in the Hunnan province because it was seen as an air pollutant.

Bean curd maybe stored in the fridge for a day or two covered in water with the water changed at least once a day.
Freezing turns a doufu porous and somewhat chewy, resulting in an ancient delicacy known as Dong doufu(frozen doufu).
It may simply be served with plain rice porridge with a splash of sesame oil and sugar.

Tofu, sometimes also called doufu (often in Chinese recipes) or bean curd (literal translation), is a food made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks.
Although intriguing and possible, there is no evidence to substantiate this theory beyond the point of academic speculation.[5]
Tofu packaged in aseptic Tetra Brik containers has a shelf life of one year if unopened.
