It is hard not to love tofu, for its taste and nutrients. But not everyone, or rather a lot of people, exactly likes “stinky tofu”. The name suggested it all, the selling point of it is the smelliness. To the people who love stinky tofu, the stinkier it is, the better. It is like blue cheese in the western cuisine, either you love it and run to it, or hate it and run away. Stinky tofu is actually fermented tofu that is deep-fried, giving it the crispy texture on the outside.
