凉拌豆腐 is presented here as a menu-reading guide, with selected word meanings and questions about the actual preparation.
Words on the menu#

|---|---|---|

Questions for the kitchen#
Ask which tofu, dressing, oil and garnish are used. A menu name that identifies tofu does not identify every sauce or shared preparation step.
Using this guide#
The questions are editorial suggestions. A dictionary gloss explains wording; it does not verify a restaurant’s recipe, certify dietary suitability or establish a historical origin. State the ingredients you need excluded and ask the kitchen to confirm the particular dish.
