Fry Tofu/두부튀김/ 炸豆腐

Tofu is also known as "Bean curd". It is commonly used for cooking, to fry,to braise etc. I believe that you all know that tofu is originated in ancient China, but, do you know that who was the one to invent this tofu ? Tofu was invented in northern China around 164 BC by Lord Liu An （刘安）, a Han （汉） Dynastry Prince.

This is a very simple dish by frying it and dipping it with Korean soy bean sauce & leek.

豆腐，是非常普遍的料理材料，可用来炸，烩等。 我相信大家都知道豆腐源自中国。但，您可知道那是谁发明的？ 豆腐起源自中国北部，大约是在公元前 164 年，汉朝的刘安太子。


据记载，刘安是豆腐以及很多养生之道发明者。據傳劉安於母親患病期間，每日用泡好的黃豆磨成豆漿給母親飲用，劉母之病遂逐漸好轉，豆漿也隨之傳入民間。至於豆腐起源，古籍曾記載劉安在淮南八公山上煉丹時，曾不小心將石膏混入豆漿裡，經物理變化成為豆腐。至此豆漿與豆腐均源自中國，安徽淮南更有中國豆腐之鄉的美名。(摘自百科全书）
