good god was stinky tofu awful when i tried it. smelled like sock and tasted worse. I almost want to see if my tastes have changed enough over the years to appreciate it now but back then it was simply awful.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoHow do you know when it’s gone rancid?
- weaksauce 5y agoit was an actual dish that is popular in china and not spoiled food. traditionally it's fermented.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoI know. I’m asking if it goes bad, how would you even know when the smell is bad before it is rancid.
- teorema 5y agoYou'd be wise to be careful with stinky tofu, at least in many places. The safest methods simply marinate tofu in fermented amaranth; the tofu itself isn't aged. But there's many approaches to it with and without questionable safety practices. I'm not sure comparisons to blue cheese or koji-fermented products are appropriate. https://roadsandkingdoms.com/2019/stinky-tofu-in-shaoxing/ https://roadsandkingdoms.com/2019/stinky-tofu-in-shaoxing/
