释义

名词

一种客家食品。其做法是将鱼肉等剁碎当馅料,酿(塞)入豆腐内,油炸或放进滚水中烫熟后调配在黄豆汤里吃。

DEFINITION

Noun

A Hakka dish made by mincing fish meat and stuffing it into tofu, then frying or boiling it before serving with a soup made with soya beans.

由来
  • 酿豆腐也指其他可以用来“酿”的食材,包括油豆腐、茄子、柿子椒等。在客家话里,动词“酿”有将馅料塞入的意思。
  • 新加坡的酿豆腐还加入了鱼丸、猪肉丸、猪皮、鱿鱼、蕹菜、米粉、面条等,一般搭配甜酱或辣椒酱食用。
  • 酿豆腐为客家菜肴,是逢年过节宴席里必有的名菜。
  • 据说客家酿豆腐源于北方中原人的饺子。由于中原人南迁,而南方少产麦,缺少面粉,因此以豆腐代替饺子皮,将肉酿入豆腐中,因而成了别有风味的酿豆腐。
  • 另一传说是,在很久以前,有一对结拜兄弟,分别来自五华与兴宁,有一次在点菜时,一个想吃猪肉,另一个想吃豆腐,于是老板便想了一个好办法,制作了酿豆腐,这样既能吃到肉, 又能品尝到豆腐。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Yong tau foo also refers to other ingredients that can be stuffed, including tau pok, eggplants and bell peppers. In the Hakka dialect, the verb “酿” means “to fill with stuffing”. 
  • Yong tau foo in Singapore can also include fishballs, pork balls, pork skin, cuttlefish, water spinach (kangkong), bee hoon or noodles. It is usually eaten with sweet sauce or chilli sauce.
  • For Hakkas, yong tau foo is a must-have during Chinese New Year and other festive occasions. 
  • It is believed that yong tau foo originated from meat dumplings made by the people who lived in the Central Plains of northern China. As they migrated south, there was a lack of flour as wheat was not commonly grown in the south. Hence, meat was stuffed into tofu instead of dumpling skins, resulting in the unique dish known as yong tau foo.
  • Another explanation of yong tau foo’s origin features a pair of sworn brothers from the towns of Wuhua and Xingning. One day, when ordering food, one brother wanted pork while the other wanted tofu. As a result, the boss came up with the idea of stuffing meat into tofu to make yong tau foo, so that both brothers would be satisfied.
例句
小贩中心常吃到的酿豆腐,可说已经是简化版的。听说真正的客家酿豆腐,是猪肉碎与鱼浆等混合,酿好后炸过,再放进预先熬好的黄豆高汤中焖煮。(《联合晚报》, 27/2/2018)
SAMPLE SENTENCE
The yong tau foo that is often eaten in hawker centres can be considered a simplified version. I have heard that authentic Hakka yong tau foo is made with a mixture of minced pork and fish paste. It is then fried before being simmered in a light soya bean broth. (Lianhe Wanbao, 27/2/2018)
