Winter warmth in a bowl: Tai'an Sanmei Tofu

(chinadaily.com.cn)

At Taishan Mountain, three celebrated delicacies stand out: cabbage, tofu, and water. This local Tai'an dish, known as Sanmei Tofu, exudes a refined charm reminiscent of the esteemed national banquet dish.

Winter is the ideal season for cabbage. The dish is crafted with silky tofu, tender cabbage, and the sweet, pure water from Taishan Mountain, all simmered into a milky, flavorful broth. Despite being made from humble ingredients, these elements combine in Tai'an to create something truly extraordinary. A single bowl of this nourishing soup provides warmth from head to toe.
