Juicy tofu in a spicy sauce

In Yunnan, eating tofu is a social activity. All over the south of the province, people gather around grills tended by cooks who slowly toast chunks of cured tofu until they are crisp and golden on the outside, soft and slightly juicy within, and customers help themselves, dipping the tofu pieces into soy sauce, chilli, garlic and herbs. Aside from the ubiquitous tofu grills, there are many delicious local tofu recipes, including this one. In Yunnan, they make it with slices of fresh tofu soaked in an alkaline solution, which makes the texture particularly custardy after frying: a sort of arti

Jūšia - Traditional Lithuanian Herring Soup

What is Jūšia? Jūšia is an old Lithuanian word documented with the specific meaning of herring soup. It is closely related to the older word jūšė, which Lithuanian linguistic sources record more broadly as fish soup, thin soup or, in some usages, soup containing groats. This distinction matters. A recipe based specifically on herring is better described as jūšia, while jūšė historically had a wider meaning and should not automatically be treated as the name of one fixed herring recipe. An Old Lithuanian Soup Name The words belong to an old layer of Lithuanian culinary vocabulary. Historical di
