It's a strange thing to say, but the human mind is always on the lookout for new things to do. Especially the usual meal delicacies eat a lot, often looking for some stimulation is what they call gourmet food tasting.
This is true for canned herring, and it's also true for stinky tofu. I've seen a lot of anchors challenge themselves to eat canned herring, and that kind of difficulty in front of the camera really attracts some people to be brave enough to die. But it is really hard to eat, so don't try it if you haven't. But stinky tofu seems to be a little different, although a few meters around does stink, as long as you can accept the taste after trying it, you will feel delicious. Such food is really amazing, obviously psychological resistance, tell you that this is poison, the body is hopelessly moved to it.
To say that the street stinky tofu stalls that really is a sea to go, each labeled with Hunan stinky tofu, in fact, are in the semi-finished product "scratching their heads". And street stalls always make people feel that the hygiene aspect of stinky tofu is almost meaningless. And, don't look at it often playing ten dollars five pieces of the label, in fact, love to eat the people really is not enough to eat, block head so small stinky tofu is really not enough to like people to eat.
Then how to solve the problem of health and cost? The first thing you need to do is to eat the food and not worry about it, but you need to eat it well. The first step is to make your own.
The first step: prepare the tofu. Do not choose old tofu, medium tofu is good. Cut into evenly sized blocks and spare.
The second step: the preparation of stinky amaranth brine, smell is really stinky, but the aftertaste is actually a little flavor, it's terrible! This is the magical effect of fermented amaranth.
Step 3: Shake the amaranth brine evenly, pour it over the cut tofu blocks in a sealed box, add three tablespoons of salt, cover the lid of the sealed box, and then wrap it with plastic wrap, which is recommended to wrap it with a few more layers. Then put it in the refrigerator to marinate for 72 hours, the deliciousness is ready. Open the lid can smell a stinky flavor.
Step 4: Deep fry the stinky tofu. The oil temperature to 7% heat, a block into the marinated tofu, the tofu deep-fried until both sides of the golden brown can be removed, remember not to fry the old, affecting the taste.
Fifth step: adjust the sauce. Take an appropriate amount of garlic, add salt, chili pepper chicken essence, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cumin powder, a small spoon of pepper, a small spoon of starch, and then add water and mix well, and then pour into the pot to simmer for two minutes off the fire will be poured in the sauce on the fried stinky tofu, sprinkled with some green onions and parsley, open the whole!
