Handmade Shaoxing stinky tofu recipe ?

Wild amaranth is everywhere in the forest, and the majority is half a man high that kind of thick and strong, passers-by to see me obliged to weeding the forest looks very curious, and I am very happy in the heart of the beauty, I guess this moment in the Shaoxing countryside can not be found in the wild amaranth so much fat, but actually thousands of miles away from the north to be able to find their traces. Amaranth plucked home first remove the leaves, leaving only the more robust stem, and then cut into a finger-length section of a section, washed, put into a casserole dish spread with clean water, in order to not over the amaranth stalks as appropriate.

These steps are completed after the casserole cover the lid, placed in the outdoor sunny place to set aside for a day and a night, summer temperatures 24 hours will be enough, the next day uncovered to see the original water bubbled white bubbles, which can be fished out of the amaranth stalks, amaranth stalks can be made into another tasty Shaoxing delicacy "moldy amaranth stalks

The amaranth stalks can be made into another delicious Shaoxing delicacy, "moldy amaranth stalks", and the bubble water left behind is the mother liquor for making stinky tofu.

Then move the casserole back into the house and set it aside in a corner of the kitchen that is not very ventilated, and buy a piece of old tofu.

Grind it up and pour it into the mother liquor.

The tofu will become the medium for the bacterial fermentation, and then cover the casserole dish with that and let it sit for 2 to 3 days.

Open the lid again when the original soaked amaranth stalks of soup from red has turned light green, the water looks very clear, but the smell smells bad, this is basically done! The last step is to buy the pressure plate tofu (avoid tender tofu).

Put it in the stinky tofu water.

Soak overnight ......

The next day, fish up and rinse with water (the smell is not wash away the stink Oh ^_^), cut into small pieces, under the frying pan a fried.

The original dried out tofu blocks will be fluffy and loose.

Seasoning to your taste, I usually like to use hot sauce and vinegar, dipped in homemade dip to eat stinky tofu more delicious.
