Local snacks in Tainan - Douhua (soybean jelly)




Hey,everyone,see you again!!
The city I live is called Tainan.It is an old city.
Because of it's long history,there are many delicious snacks.
For example:Coffin Board,Eel Noodles,Milkifish Congee,Shrimpball,
Mackerel Soup,Da-A Noodles,Bowl Rice Cake,Douhua.....etc.
Now I'm going to introduce the Douhua for you.
Douhua is a transliteration.It's another name called soybean jelly.
We can know what the elements are by its name.
It's made from soybeans and it's appearance like jelly.
How to make it!?We have four steps:
The first,grind soybeans and make it sticky.
The second,filter residues of soybeans,and we get the soybean milk.
The third,mix soybean milk and water,then boil it.
The last,add Magnesium chcoride and wait for it's soilding like the jelly,and we success!!
It tastes fresh and cool,fine and smooth,reminiscence and sweet.
When you visit Tainan in summer,don't forget it.
It can really cool you down on those hot days!!
Thank you for your precious to read my introduction.

  1. Hi, John. Wow, soybean jelly and how to cook it are very similar with Japanese Tofu.

    It looks very softer than Tofu. I wanna try it!!

  2. Hi, John! My name's Mami. I'm studying Chinese language now, but Douhua is like 杏仁豆腐 in Chinese. I do want to go to Taiwan to have rare dessert there in summer, but how much does it cost to eat? (为吃这个,多少我要?)

  3. TO Shun:Douhua's element has much water than Tofu,so it is softer than Tofu.But the methods of making them are almost the same.
    To mami:There is almond Douhua in Taiwan too.
    Just add almond in it like almond Tofu.It costs about 25~30 NT(sample by pictures).25~30NT exchange to YEN about 70~80YEN.很高興認識你. :)
