Stinky tofu, snail powder, stinky mandarin fish and durian, these smelly and fragrant foods are simply two extremes. I like eating bones, but I hate them when I look at them. There are many people who can't help but be curious and want to try. As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats. Maybe just out of curiosity, I tasted it and fell into the pit. Since then, it has become an uncontrollable and inescapable law of true fragrance.

First of all, stinky tofu

Stinky tofu is the most common street snack. The stinky tofu just fried is chubby. While you are plump, you should quickly pick up the upper tofu skin and pour in small ingredients and soup. The spices are fragrant and slightly spicy, and the soup is delicious. Is it sweet? Play to the fullest, after eating, the mouth is cool and spicy, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

Want to ask stinky tofu? Smelly? From where? Then we should talk about the making of stinky tofu. Stinky tofu is small, but the production process is complicated, and it must go through many processes such as frying, adding brine and fermentation. What about this? Smelly? This is because the protein contained in tofu during fermentation and pickling is decomposed by protease, which produces a pungent smell.

Second, snail powder

Speaking of snail powder, we have to mention Liuzhou snail powder. Every time I see a bowl full of red oil and rich ingredients, the whole person can't help but want to drool. At the first bite, the burning oily fragrance mixed with the unique sour bamboo shoot flavor, coupled with crisp sour beans, stimulated the taste buds to the extreme, and the satisfaction instantly burst.

And snail powder? Smelly? The source of taste is not snails, nor rice noodles, but sour bamboo shoots. The sour bamboo shoots in snail powder are acidified by fresh bamboo shoots after processing and fermentation, which naturally has a special sour smell.

Third, smelly mandarin fish.

Stinky mandarin fish is smelly, but it tastes delicious and tender. Authentic Siniperca chuatsi is salty and penetrating, with delicate meat quality, smooth and tender taste, mellow and tasty, which well retains the original flavor of Siniperca chuatsi. Although it is usually called mandarin fish, it is made in a unique way and tastes delicious. In fact, mandarin fish itself has no smell, but it will give off a bad smell after being pickled in a special way.

Fourth, durian

What is durian called in the water world? The king of fruit? It is rich in nutrition and has a delicate and sweet taste, but it is still rejected by some people because of its special smell. Some people think durian stinks like cat excrement, while others think it has a strong aroma. In short, it all depends on personal feelings. This special smell of durian actually comes from the pungent smell of sulfur-containing compounds volatilized from its fruit aroma.
