Jin Sha Dou Fu (金沙豆腐) Fried Tofu With Salted Egg Yolk

Jin Sha Dou Fu (金沙豆腐) Fried Tofu With Salted Egg Yolk

 



Jin sha dou fu (金沙豆腐) (pinyin with tones: jīn shā dòu fu), fried tofu with salted egg yolk, is a popular dish in re chao dian (熱炒店/热炒店, stir fry restaurant). Only two main ingredients are needed to make this flavorful dish—tofu and salted egg yolk. First, chop egg tofu (or soft tofu) into dices and pan fry or deep fry them until golden brown. Pick them up and put them aside for later use. Second, mince salted duck egg yolk until it starts to bubble and becomes thick. Third, add some minced garlic, chopped chili peppers and green onions, and last, fried tofu, a delicious jin sha dou fu is done! It goes so well with rice but is not that salty so children and adults like it so much!

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
