How to make old Beijing spicy tofu

1. Wash the prepared snow mustard greens with clean water, soak them repeatedly in clean water to remove the saltiness, and then cut them into small pieces for later use. Put the soaked green beans and soybeans into a pot, add clean water, and then put in two star anises and cook until done. However, be careful not to overcook them. Take them out after cooking and set aside.

2. Pour the sheep tail oil into the pot. If you don’t have sheep tail oil, you can buy sheep tail and stir-fry it yourself. After the sheep tail oil is heated, pour the scallion and ginger into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant. Pour the yellow paste into the pot. After the yellow paste is fried thoroughly, add the chopped snow vegetable and stir-fry evenly.

3. Then put the cooked soybeans and green beans into the pot, followed by cooking wine and soy sauce, and finally the hemp tofu. After putting the hemp tofu in, add an appropriate amount of water, and let the water cover the hemp tofu. After adding the water, bring the pot to a boil, then stir-fry back and forth. After all the water is absorbed by the hemp tofu, take it out, then fry some chili oil in the pot again and pour it on the fried hemp tofu. A serving of authentic old Beijing hemp tofu is ready to be eaten.
