2018 Central China Changsha Import Expo_

2018 Central China(Changsha) Import Expo will be held on July 5- 9, 2018 in Hunan International Convention and Exhibition Center - Mango pavilion. When we are exploring the expo, there is a good chance for us to get to know more about Changsha city. And the Stinky tofu actually is a best choice for us!

Changsha Stinky tofu

Stinky tofu is a Chinese form of fermented tofu that has a strong odor. It is usually sold at night markets or roadside stands as a snack, or in lunch bars as a side dish, rather than in restaurants.

Unlike cheese, stinky tofu fermentation does not have a fixed formula for starter bacteria; wide regional and individual variations exist in manufacturing and preparation.

The traditional method of producing stinky tofu is to prepare a brine made from fermented milk, vegetables, and meat; the brine can also include dried shrimp, amaranth greens, mustard greens, bamboo shoots, and Chinese herbs.The brine fermentation can take as long as several months.

Stinky tofu can be eaten cold, steamed, stewed, or, most commonly, deep-fried, and it is often accompanied by chili sauce. The color varies from the golden, fried Zhejiang-style to the black, typical of Hunan-style stinky tofu.
