Yonghe Tofu

Yonghe Tofu is a special dish of Yonghe Town, Ji'an County, Jiangxi Province. It is listed as one of the "Top Ten Amaranth" because of its advantages of "fine, thick, smooth, and gluten". During the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang began to fight against the Yuan, and when the troops passed through Yonghe Town, which was separated from his hometown by the water, there was a shortage of grain and low morale. Yonghe people use local tofu soup to comfort the army. After Wen Tianxiang tasted it, he praised it again and again. After eating the tofu soup, the troops were greatly encouraged and continued to invest in the battle of the Yuan Yuan with high morale. After the national hero Wen Tianxiang died for the country, Yonghe people called him the "tofu tofu" in order to commemorate him.
