1, introduction of moldy tofu
Moldy tofu is an original traditional condiment in China, which can be eaten alone or used to cook dishes with unique flavor. The raw material of moldy tofu is the white blank of tofu. Inoculate the white blank with suitable mold and cultivate it under suitable conditions, and soon white hairs will grow on it, that is, a large number of molds will be produced. Rubbing the white blank, and finally curing it, it becomes moldy tofu.
2. Preservation methods of homemade tofu
The tofu milk bought home has only been opened for a few days, and it has grown disgusting mold. Presumably, many people have had this experience. In fact, even if you don't put tofu in the refrigerator, it's easy to keep it after opening a bottle. Remember not to let tofu come into contact with moisture.
Moisture-free dry chopsticks support
When I was growing up, my grandmother always warned me not to carry it with wet chopsticks. Even if the tableware is not kept dry after washing, contact with tofu milk is the number one public enemy that makes it moldy. Therefore, the next time you want to eat tofu milk, you should prepare dry chopsticks, take them out of the container respectfully, and remember to cover the bottle cap and put it in the shade. Even if you open the jar a year later, it tastes good.
Rice wine is more delicious.
After standing for a period of time, it is often found that tofu milk with little juice and no water injection not only tastes wrong, but sometimes even looks bad. Rice wine comes in handy at this time. Just add rice wine and let the rice wine drown the bean curd. After the bottle cap is sealed, tofu will not only restore its original taste, but also make tofu more delicious.
Even if you buy tofu brain to go home, you don't have to eat it in a hurry. You can mix the original juice with some rice wine and leave it for a few days, and you will find that the tofu fermented by rice wine is more delicious than usual.
Don't choose freshly made tofu milk.
Tofu milk is the same as wine, but the heavier it is, the more fragrant it is. The tofu brain that just appeared looks white, but it tastes a little less. The reason is that the time is not long enough, the juice does not have enough chemical changes with tofu milk, and the aroma can't run out. Next time you want to eat tofu milk, remember to pick it out and eat it at least three months later.
3, the harm of moldy tofu
Lead to iodine deficiency
Soybeans that make tofu contain saponin, which will accelerate the excretion of iodine in the body. Long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily lead to iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders.
Promote gout attack
Tofu contains more purines, and gout patients with abnormal purine metabolism and patients with elevated blood uric acid concentration are prone to gout attacks.
Increase the burden on kidneys
Under normal circumstances, protein, a plant that people eat in the body, undergoes metabolism, and finally most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is excreted by the kidneys. When people get old, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if you don't pay attention to your diet, eat a lot of tofu and take in too much plant protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste produced in your body and increase the burden on your kidneys, which is not conducive to your health.
Promote arteriosclerosis
Soybean products are rich in methionine, which can be converted into cysteine by enzymes. It will damage the endothelial cells of the arterial wall, make cholesterol and triglycerides deposit on the arterial wall, and lead to the formation of arteriosclerosis.
Harmful to sperm
A preliminary study in the laboratory of British scientists found that a phytochemical in soybean may be harmful to sperm. A phytochemical found in soybean may be harmful to sperm and affect male fertility, according to British researchers, Reuters reported.
