Fushun douhua 富顺豆花
Fushun douhua is featured among the local specialties of Sichuan.
Soft tofu with a strongly flavoured dipping sauce makes a distinct southern Sichuan meal. Ask what goes into the dip and how it is served with rice.
How it is made
Soy milk is set into soft tofu curds and served warm with a separate strongly seasoned dipping sauce. Rice commonly turns the tofu and dip into a complete meal.
Flavour & texture
The curd is fragile and mild, while chili, aromatics and fermented seasonings in the dip create a concentrated contrast.
Local roots & traditions
Fushun douhua is associated with the Zigong area and a local style of eating tender tofu alongside rice, rather than a sweet tofu dessert.
