Taiwan Street Foods (Part 1)

Stinky tofu

Stinky tofu smells but it tastes great. The traditional method of producing the stinky tofu had to prepare brine that made from fermented milk, vegetables and meat. The brine can include dried shrimp, amaranth greens, mustard greens, bamboo shoots and Chinese herbs too. The brine fermentation can take up to several months.

Modern factories often uses quicker methods to mass-produce stinky tofu to serve for big amounts of consumers. Fresh tofu is marinated in prepared brine for only a day or two. The process only adds odour to the marinated tofu instead of letting it ferment completely. #smellybuttastegood
