王橋村位于浚縣縣城西北一公里處,素以"豆腐之鄉"聞名豫北各地。遠在清代,這里始設立豆腐作坊,近三百年來經久不衰。1983年,農村貫徹黨的富民政策以后,家家戶戶從事豆腐制作,全村日產豆腐30,000余斤。產品銷往附近各縣及安陽、鶴壁、新鄉等市。
王橋豆腐用料講究,制作精細,多為手工操作。加工過程分選料、浸泡、粉碎、濾渣、煮槳、點鹵、壓制七道工序。每斤黃豆出豆腐2.5斤,做成后色澤鮮嫩、潔白細膩、軟硬適中、宜儲運、不變質,棱角分明,油炸后酥軟焦黃。是素食之上等佳品,深為廣大顧客所喜愛。
Wangqiao Tofu
Wangqiao Village is located in the northwest of Junxian County, which is famous as a hometown of tofu in Northern Henan. In Qing Dynasty, the tofu workshops began to appear and they have never decayed in these almost 300 years from then on. In 1983, almost every family turned to making tofu after royal areas implementing the policy of enriching farmers. The whole village can produced more than 15,000 kilo each day, which was sold to surrounding towns and cities like Anyang, Hebi, Xinxiang City, etc.
Wangqiao tofu chooses materials daintily and has careful making processes, among which many are handmade. The processes contain 7 steps: choosing material, soaking, smashing, filtering, stewing, bitterning and pressing. Each kilo beans can be made into 2.5 kilo tofu. The finished tofu has a bright and pure color as well as moderate rigidity. It is convenient to carry and not easy to get rotten. Besides, it also has a very nice appearance and flavor after fried. All these qualities make it one of the best vegetarian dishes, which is popular with hundreds of consumers.
