Fermented Bean Curd, also known as fermented tofu, is a traditional Asian food made from soybeans. The process involves soaking, cooking, and fermenting soybeans, which are then pressed into blocks and aged with specific molds and bacteria. This fermentation gives the bean curd a unique flavor and creamy texture, often described as tangy or savory. Fermented bean curd is commonly used in various dishes, including stir-fries, soups, and as a condiment. It is rich in protein and can be a good source of probiotics, contributing to gut health. This versatile ingredient is popular in cuisines such as Chinese and Japanese.
