[Suzhou cuisine]: Wensi tofu soup

According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, there was a monk named Wensi at Tianning Temple on the right side of Meihua Mountain in Yangzhou, who was good at making all kinds of tofu dishes.In particular, the tofu soup made of tender tofu, day lily, agaric and other raw materials tastes very delicious. Buddhist monks who go to burn incense and worship Buddha like to taste this soup.It is very famous in Yangzhou area, which was recorded in Yangzhou boat records.It is said that Emperor Qianlong once tasted this dish and once became a famous dish in the Qing Dynasty. Because this dish was created by Wensi monk, people call it "Wensi tofu", which has been handed down to this day.Perhaps inspired by the Wensi monk of Tianning Temple in those days, the club bravely changed the famous "Wensi tofu soup" in the south of the Yangtze River with the Zen philosophy of the ancient temple Dajue temple.The three main ingredients, tofu, agaric, and green vegetables, which are cut into thin filaments, are titled with the philosophy of "think before you act".
