About Stinky tofu

Stinky tofu, a unique and iconic fermented soybean dish, hails from Chinese cuisine and is popular across East Asia. This pungent delicacy is made by soaking tofu in a brine containing vegetables, herbs, and sometimes seafood-based components, leading to its strong aroma and complex flavor profile. It’s traditionally served steamed, fried, or grilled, often accompanied by pickled vegetables or spicy sauces. Stinky tofu is rich in protein, calcium, and probiotics due to its fermentation process, which supports gut health and digestion. However, its nutritional impact can vary depending on preparation methods; fried stinky tofu, for instance, may be higher in calories and fats. Despite its bold smell, stinky tofu remains a beloved street food, valued for its combination of protein-packed sustenance and distinctive taste. As with many fermented foods, moderation is key to balancing its potential benefits with dietary goals.
