Do you know what STINKY TOFU is? If you have been to Hong Kong and Taiwan night markets, you will know what this is. I have been craving for these tofu. My neighbour bought me some from the SS2 shop, I have tried and found them not smelly enough and just more herbal. I think they are more Taiwanese style. So I told them, let me try to make my own Hong Kong style stinky type. So I went on doing some research on how we can make the fermentation. Guess what, I must say I am super happy and excited over the stinkiness in my house. Weird but true. I felt like I was in a Hong Kong night market! I gave myself a 7/10 mark. Hahaha.
HK Style Fermentation Ingredients (2.5 litres jar):
. 1 whole mustard green/spinach, cut
. 4 to 5 stocks of coriander/spring onions, cut
. 200 g or more old ginger, sliced
. 20 to 25 pcs or more fresh prawns for prawn heads
. 5 pieces of fermented bean curds, mashed. 1 cup rice wine
. 1 litre rice water (water from washing rice)
. 1 litre cooled down cooked water
. 1/2 cup of salt
* Mix all above into an air-tight glass jar & leave it in your storage for 2 weeks to 1 month. It can get very smelly!!
For Fried Stinky Tofu Ingredients :
. 20 pcs of small to medium size firm tofu (not the soft tofu)
. oil for frying
* Soak the tofu in fermented water overnight in a sealed container overnight in the refrigerator.
To serve (dig a whole in the middle of the tofu & add below ingredients) :
. Spicy sauce or
. Pickled cabbage or kimchi
. Cut coriander or spring onions
My only advice for you all is fry your tofu outside the house or with your hood on full blast! Otherwise you will end up having the night market store smell for 1.5 days like I had. I don't hate it, but everyone in the house was hiding inside their rooms!
I am glad I found the secret of making this. Hope I will improve this and make them even more smelly and yummier? Yes I will soak the tofu for more than a day. So what is next? I still have a huge jar of Taiwanese fermentation going on. I will be able to try it in 2 weeks. I am determined to let it ferment for a month. Will let u all know soon.
Yes they are stinky when u prepare them and fry them up. But they taste far better than they smell. It has many health benefits like helping the digestive system and treating cold symptoms. According to some studies, eating stinky tofu can also help prevent osteoporosis, lower the risk of prostate and breast cancer, and reduce cholesterol. Hmm, interesting. I love them no matter what!
Dare to try?
