My hometown, Suzhou, is a very beautiful place and there are many delicious snacks, such as my favorite Jinjin dried tofu.

Jinjin Dried Tofu is one of the many famous snacks in Suzhou. As far as I know, it has a very long history: In 1927, a joint venture named "Xinxin Beef and Vegetarian Chicken" was founded by Zhu surnamed "Xinxin Beef and Vegetarian Chicken", which was later changed to " "Jinjin Beef Jerky" mainly produces "Jinjin Beef Jerky". Due to frequent interruptions in the supply of beef, Zhu's company focused on producing "braised vegetarian chicken". The ingredients and packaging were modeled after beef jerky, and it was called "Jinjin Braised Dried Tofu." A must-have snack. In 1956, it became a public-private partnership and merged into Pingjiang Confectionery and Pastry Food Factory, and later merged into Suzhou Food Factory. Moreover, its production method has been listed on the Suzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage List and approved by the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Therefore, Jinjin dried tofu can be said to be both hygienic and delicious.

I remember when I was a kid, Jinjin Dried Tofu was the “pearl in my eye” and I couldn’t live without it for three meals a day. Sometimes I would pester my mother for a long time just to taste its deliciousness. At that time, my mother had no choice but to grant my wish, but she still didn’t understand why I couldn’t put it down so much.

As time goes by, I have grown up, but I still have a soft spot for this unique Suzhou dried tofu as I did when I was a child.

The reason why it can survive decades of ups and downs and still be famous among snacks is undoubtedly two words: delicious!

Jinjin Tofu The stem is square, wrinkled, and dark red. Suzhou people are very particular. They usually take out a snow-white plate and gently pour the dried tofu on it. At this time, pieces of dried tofu with good color and taste appeared in front of you along with the red sauce. The marinade glistens slightly with the color of water against the backdrop of the white porcelain plate. It makes people's appetites increase just by looking at it.

After taking a bite, the sweet, tender, and refreshing marinade filled my mouth and gradually passed through my throat. I couldn't help but sigh at its deliciousness! It tastes so good. It actually made me reluctant to take a second bite.
