The production method of Shimen tofu

The tofu production method in Shimen area is not much different from other places. However, Shimen Tujia Tofu has its own special features. First, the soybeans produced in the same year are called new soybeans. They are swelled with mountain spring water, then slowly ground with a stone mill, and then the boiled water is washed into the ground fermented sour milk made from ground mung bean wow gold in the nest basket, called slurrying. Then filter the juice on the rack (hang a piece of white cloth on the four corners), scoop the filtered fermented sour milk made from ground mung bean wow gold into a pot and boil it, then scoop it into a basket, make plaster, and cover it for about ten minutes. At this time, fermented sour milk made from ground mung bean wow gold is called "bean curd jelly served with sauce", and Tujia people call it "cream spray". Finally, scoop the bean curd jelly served with sauce into the vegetable basket, fold up the four corners, and press a red brick or small stone to squeeze out the paste juice. The tofu thus made is called Tujia Homestyle Tofu

When making tofu, the Tujia people in Shimen usually add water, oil, salt, and seasonings to the pot to maintain its original flavor. They slice the tofu and put it in the pot. When it boils, they serve it in a bowl and weigh it. If it is stewed in a bowl and eaten, it is called stewed tofu. Whether it's tofu or stewed tofu, the delicious and tender tofu aroma fills the mouth, giving people a taste of the rustic charm of the countryside
