Fermented

Fermented tofu (including stinky tofu styles and long-aged curds) develops sharp, pungent aroma and deep savour far from mild fresh block. Use where that funk is wanted—with rice porridge, braises, or as a condiment paste. A little seasons a whole dish. Do not swap one-for-one with fresh tofu in delicate recipes. Rinse or mash depending on style. Store sealed and cold; the aroma is assertive in the fridge if left open.
