Steve: Hang on Honey, I think I stepped in some dog poop.
Ting: No, you didn't step in dog poop, it's Stinky Tofu!
That was Steve's first impression of the aromatic Stinky Tofu ten years ago at a night market. Unfortunately for him, like Kimchee, it is one of my favorite foods. The fermented tofu is deep fried then loaded up with garlic and flavorful sauces. It is often served with pickled cabbage.
Kevin, I wish I could bottle the unique scent to share but it may be just as well, otherwise, I may end up in the CNN headlines - SFO International Airport evacuated due to mysterious odor.
By the way, here's another little childhood gem...Pig's blood! The blood is mixed with secret ingredients, once it is gelatinized, it is steamed. When it is ready for serving, it is dipped in a sauce and covered with crushed peanuts. It is not something I would order but fans rave about it.
