Lijin Traditional Tofu Pudding Introduction
Since its establishment in 1986, Li-Jin Douhua has a history of over 20 years, starting from a small tricycle stall to its own storefront today. Li-Jin's douhua is made from pure yellow soybeans that are soaked in water for 3 to 4 hours and then ground, adhering to traditional methods, resulting in a rich yellow soybean aroma and a delicate, smooth texture. All ingredients are freshly cooked the day before, ensuring better freshness compared to some shops that source from factories. Another characteristic of "Li-Jin Douhua" is the generous addition of "shaved ice" on top of the douhua, which differs from other douhua shops that typically use shaved ice drenched in syrup. The rich douhua paired with shaved ice is refreshing and thirst-quenching. The owner mentioned that students love ice, but it can be challenging to balance the syrup ratio, so they simply make ice cubes with the syrup beforehand, then turn it into ice granita. Additionally, Li-Jin's syrup is made by caramelizing granulated sugar before adding water, giving it a uniquely rich flavor.
