臭豆腐, pronounced "chòu dòufu," is a popular street food in Taiwan and other parts of East Asia. It is made from fermented tofu, which gives it a strong odor that some find off-putting. The tofu is typically deep-fried until crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside, and it is often served with pickled vegetables and a spicy sauce. Despite its strong smell,臭豆腐 is beloved for its unique flavor and texture. It can be found at night markets and food stalls, where vendors often serve it with various toppings. Many people enjoy it as a snack or a side dish, making it a staple in Taiwanese cuisine.
