Stinky tofu was invented by a Wang Zhihe man in Qing Dynasty. At that time, because of his bad reputation in Sun Shan, he opened a tofu shop in Beijing in order to raise money to return to China. Once, it rained for several days, and the unsalable tofu became moldy. He felt it was a pity to lose it, so he tried to cut the moldy tofu into small pieces, add salt and pepper and seal it in a jar. A few days later, tofu has turned green. After frying, it tastes special. From then on, he hung up the signboard of "stinky tofu".
Nowadays, stinky tofu is known as "smelly" and there are "smelly" husbands everywhere. However, the marinades that make tofu stink in different places are not the same, and they have developed into stinky tofu with many different tastes.
