Hong Kong (China) – Stinky Tofu

by Sheroz Gill

Introduction

Stinky tofu is a very strong fermented food. It has a very strong smell even when you cook it because of the fermentation which makes it smelly. Its odor made it different and delicious. This is so delicious but not for those who made it because it has a very strong smell that is not good. When we made it, its sticky ingredients stuck at the end or the surface of the pan and produce a very bad smell but we cover it by putting garlic and ginger paste. Ginger and garlic paste has a strong smell that is very good. We can say that it is a side dish we can eat this in
