The preparation emphasizes precise heat control and a flavorful broth, allowing the tofu threads to fully absorb the aromas of the accompanying ingredients.
Squirrel-shaped Mandarin FishSquirrel-shaped mandarin fish is made primarily from mandarin fish, named for its bright red color and shape resembling a squirrel after cooking.

A sweet and sour sauce made from sugar and vinegar is then prepared and poured over the fish, creating a vibrant appearance and a squirrel-like造型.
