2.1 Origins and History
豆汁油条起源于中国北方，特别是在北京这一地区，其历史可以追溯到清朝时期。当时，一些街边摊贩开始将自家做出的豆浆加入一些香料和盐调味后，再用热水煮熟，然后冷却至凝固状态，将其切片制成薄片作为早餐或零嘴出售。这就是现在所说的“炒粉丝糕”。然而，不久之后，就有人根据当时流行的一种名为“滑蛋”的甜品——将鸡蛋打散加热后变稀然后再冷却，使得蛋液变得类似于面糊一样，并且很容易入口——创造出了更适合使用在炒粉丝糕中的材料，即今日我们所称之为“毛豆腐”。

4.0 Preparing Bean Paste Oil Sticks at Home
4.1 Ingredients Needed:
200g firm tofu (preferably extra-firm)
100ml water for boiling the tofu before cutting it into cubes.
Soy sauce (or any other desired seasoning) for marinating.
Vegetable oil for frying.
5.0 Making Your Own Bean Paste Oil Sticks
5.1 Cut the tofu into small cubes after soaking them in hot water for about ten minutes to remove excess moisture.
5.2 Drain well then place them on paper towels to dry slightly before proceeding with marination.
5.3 Marinate each cube using your preferred marinade recipe (such as equal parts soy sauce and rice vinegar).
6 The Process of Cooking Bean Paste Oil Sticks
6 The process is similar to making ice cream cones but instead of battering it in flour mixture first before dipping into egg wash then deep fry until golden brown; you simply need to dip each piece directly into vegetable oil once they are done marinating until they turn golden brown on all sides which usually takes about 30 seconds per side when medium heat is used under high pressure cooking technique called "pressure fry".
