Instructions
1
Preparing the Tofu
Remove the outer skin from the tofu, then use a pre-made fixed mold to cut it into pearl-shaped round grains (or first cut it into thin slices and then into small dices). Afterwards, soak in clear water to remove the beany taste.
2
Making the Broth
Place the hen and dried scallops in a pot, add water, and simmer to extract one large bowl of broth. Remove and discard the chicken and dried scallops. Add salt to the broth, bring it to a boil, and pour it into a soup bowl.
3
Blanching and Plating
Place the tofu into another pot of clear soup or boiling water and cook until boiling. As soon as the tofu grains float to the surface, immediately scoop them out and place them into the chicken broth bowl. Done.
