0 
Spring Festival is celebrated all around the country. And in central China's Anhui Province, the Tofu Feast is a traditional must. Chefs have come up with over 300 ways to use bean curd to tempt the palate.
Tofu, or bean curd, is a Chinese standard that's made its way to international tables. The southern region of Anhui Province is said to be the birth place of Tofu, which first appeared two thousand years ago.
Generations of chefs have used their imagination and taste buds to create various dishes. And it's natural that chefs in Anhui are among the experts.
Zhu Jianglong, Chief, said, "Tofu is an ordinary food in Chinese people's daily life. But it can be turned into many dishes with different shapes and tastes."
Tofu is favored by local residents also because it sounds like the word for happiness in Chinese.
Su Xinhua, Anhui Native, said, "Tofu, Tofu, mouthful of 'Fu'. We Chinese can't spend the Spring Festival without eating Tofu. The food can bring good luck to the whole family. "
Tofu is also winning over people's hearts and stomachs for its health benefits. The high protein and low fat make it a first choice for many modern people.
