Stinky tofu, snail powder, mandarin fish, durian, these smelly and fragrant foods are simply two extremes. I like eating to the bone, but I hate it when I look at it. There are not a few people who can't help but wonder and want to try. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat. 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, stinky tofu

Stinky tofu is the most common street snack. The stinky tofu just fried is chubby. Take advantage of the plump figure, quickly pick up the upper tofu skin and pour in the small materials and soup. Small ingredients are fragrant and slightly spicy, and the soup is delicious. Is it sweet? Play incisively and vividly, after eating, the mouth is cool and spicy, and the lips and teeth remain 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 has to go through many processes such as frying, adding brine and fermentation. What about this? Smelly? It is because the protein contained in tofu during fermentation and pickling is decomposed by protease, which produces a pungent smell.

Second, snail powder

When it comes to snail powder, we have to mention Liuzhou snail powder. Every time I see a bowl full of ingredients with rich red oil, the whole person can't help but want to drool. The first bite, spicy oil mixed with unique sour bamboo shoots, coupled with crisp sour beans, stimulates the taste buds to the extreme, and the sense of satisfaction instantly bursts.

And snail powder? Smelly? The source of the taste is not snails or rice noodles, but sour bamboo shoots. The sour bamboo shoots in snail powder are acidified by fresh bamboo shoots after processing and fermentation, and naturally have a special sour taste.

Third, smelly mandarin fish.

Stinky mandarin fish, although smelly, tastes delicious and tender. Authentic mandarin fish, salty and transparent, tender meat, smooth and tender taste, mellow and delicious, well preserved the original flavor of mandarin fish. Although commonly known as mandarin fish, it is made in a unique way and tastes delicious. In fact, mandarin fish itself is odorless, but it emits a stinky 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 shit, while others think it has a strong aroma. In short, it's all personal feelings. This special smell of durian actually comes from the pungent smell of sulfur-containing compounds volatilized from its fruit aroma.
