This dish of tender tofu and preserved egg salad may seem simple, but it has a lot of special "meanings" in it: • A wonderful collision of tastes: tender tofu is as smooth and soft as pudding, with a sweet bean fragrance; the preserved egg is chewy and elastic, the egg yolk is dense and has a special "runny" feeling, and a unique salty fragrance. One soft and one tough, one light and one strong, the combination of a particularly rich taste is the key to many people falling in love with this dish.

melon ring stuffed with yam

"Melon rings stuffed with yam" is a fresh and elegant home-cooked dish. Cut the crisp and tender cucumber into even round slices, remove the middle part to make green "small rings", then mix the delicate and soft yam paste with minced meat and season it, roll it into round small balls, and firmly embed it in the cucumber rings. After steaming, the cucumber rings maintain a bright green color with a faint fragrance, while the yam meatballs in the middle absorb the essence of both, and the taste is soft and tender without losing chewiness. The whole dish is exquisitely shaped, and the yellow and green colors are particularly refreshing. The entrance has both the crispness of cucumbers and the denseness of yam and the freshness of minced meat. It is light and not greasy, and is suitable for both daily dishes and banquet side dishes.
