Homemade Fairy Tofu Exclusive

This jade-green jelly, traditionally set from wild leaves and their natural pectin, turns into a wobbly, cool summer treat with a pleasantly grassy edge.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fresh and tender two wings, six wooden tree leaves.

  2. 2

    Place it in a bowl, pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water, and stir evenly until the leaves become soft.

    Add a small amount of water to the basin, rub the leaves until the juice feels a bit viscous, pour the filtered juice into another clean large basin, add water and continue rubbing, repeating this process until the leaves turn into a paste-like state, basically stopping when only the leaf veins remain.

    All the juice that has been squeezed out.

    The finished Immortal Tofu has a bright green color and a bouncy, tender texture. Cut it into small pieces and drizzle with soy sauce, mashed garlic, fragrant vinegar, and chili (omit if you don't like spicy), and it becomes a cold mixed delicacy. It tastes fresh and cool, making it a green food for cooling down in the hot summer. You can also stir-fry it with ginger and garlic, which creates another kind of delicious taste.
