About Chao
Chao is a fermented soybean product originating from Vietnamese cuisine, often compared to tofu or cheese due to its creamy texture and rich flavor. Traditionally made by fermenting tofu with rice wine, salt, and red yeast mold, chao develops a tangy, umami profile that enhances soups, stir-fries, and dipping sauces. It serves as a versatile plant-based protein option, offering nutrients like amino acids, vitamins, and minimal fat. The fermentation process adds beneficial probiotics that aid digestion and gut health. However, chao is typically high in sodium due to the curing process, so moderation is advised for those monitoring salt intake. Its deep, savory taste has made it a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets while providing a unique twist to traditional Vietnamese dishes.
