Three Ways to Enjoy Stinky Tofu

Have you ever tried stinky tofu? Many people are not interested in tasting this dish because of it’s offensive smell. People who tend to enjoy the dish are open minded and tend to enjoy fermented dishes. For Asians, stinky tofu is the equivalent to a blue cheese. Stinky tofu aka choudoufu, 臭豆腐, is a dish that goes all the way back to the Qing dynasty.

At Wonderful Restaurant we like it in a soup. If you crave spicy you have got to try this dish! We serve ours in a spicy, tongue-numbing broth garnishes with peppers and herbs.  Other popular variations are fried stinky tofu and grilled versions.

Stinky tofu is composed of a mixture of brine of salt, amaranth, and cabbage and then fermented for up to two weeks. Of course there is various variations of fermented but this a popular one among the Taiwanese community.

We hope you’ll come in and give ours a try! Let us know how you like it and how our version compares to others in the San Gabriel Valley!
