Colorful tofu

Overview

Tofu means good fortune. Generally, during the Chinese New Year, every family will buy some tofu and use it in cooking to express its auspicious mood. I call the dish I made today colorful tofu because it contains a variety of vegetables and is colorful. In fact, for this dish, I used some vegetable heads that I had in the refrigerator, miscellaneous bits and pieces; a tomato, half a cucumber, a little carrot, two shiitake mushrooms, half a king oyster mushroom, and a small piece of tofu. In short, I used some leftovers from cooking. The cost is only a few yuan. In these days of skyrocketing prices, such a side dish can be said to be economical and affordable. It also tastes good and looks reasonable. It doesn't look ugly when served to the New Year's Eve dinner.
