Stinky tofu

Ingredients: Tofu material: 15cm× 15cm wet cotton cloth (preferably white), a number of straws and a carton.

Making:

1. Cut the bought tofu into small pieces of 6cm×6cm×2cm, put each piece obliquely in the middle, and wrap it tightly with a wet cloth (no need to bundle it).

2. Remove the leaves and ears from the straw, leaving only the straw, wash it, cut it into 20 cm long sections, wash it and dry it for later use.

3. Stack the cloth-wrapped tofu neatly on the board (you can put it on the chopping block), with at most three or four layers overlapping, with the bottom area as large as possible, and then press it on another board or slate. At this time, put the water in a big pot on the upper board or slate (it is also a good choice to replace it with a boulder). Anyway, a word, the pressure on it is "heavy"! ), so let it stand for 24 hours. This process is to squeeze out all the water in the tofu by gravity to make it more compact. Because there will be water oozing out during the whole process, it is best to put it in the pool to do this work. Of course, your swimming pool will not be used on this day. I made it in a square basin, so that the floor wouldn't get dirty because of water seeping out.

Check these tofu after one day, and you will find that they are packed tightly and neatly. Ok, now you can find out the carton, lay a layer of rice straw with a thickness of 1cm on the bottom, then put the tofu wrapped in cloth on it layer by layer, and then lay a thick layer of rice straw on it after you finish. Then put it in a damp and cool place and check it once a day. Generally, you can smell the attractive fragrance of stinky tofu in about 3 days. Check for long hair or brush surface. If there is, it is ready. Remember, the standard is the smell of stinky tofu and the long brush surface.

As for how to eat delicious food, I think frying is better than frying, and adding some salt and pepper will taste better. But be sure to fry thoroughly, protect your stomach and finish the stinky tofu quickly, otherwise unexpected things will happen. Of course, you can also peel off the remaining stinky tofu and put it in the frozen layer of the refrigerator for preservation. You can thaw it when you want to eat it. The longest preserved record in our family is 1.5 years. Generally speaking, the taste will not change, but the taste is not as good as the new one. Cotton cloth can be washed and dried, and stored for next use.
