Chinese name: 如意香干 (rú yì xiāng gān) 
Characteristics: The bean sprouts in Stir-fried Bean Sprouts with Dried Tofu taste fresh and crispy, while the dried bean curd in it is chewy with unique fragrance.
A popular story among the folk has it that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) had never eaten a dish which appeared glistening yellow when he was on an inspection tour in Jiangnan (the area to the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River). He felt it so crispy, tender and tasty that he asked the housewife about the name. Not knowing he was the emperor, the housewife joked that the dish was named 'Ruyi Dish', since the bean sprouts in it appeared like a Ruyi (a long curved decorative amulet symbolizing power and good fortune in China). When back at the palace, Emperor Qianlong remembered 'Ruyi Dish', but the royal chef had no idea about it. Later, the chef chanced upon a servant from Jiangnan, and got to know that it was actually stir-fried bean sprouts with dried tofu.
