Stinky tofu is a popular street food in Taiwan and other parts of East Asia. It is made by fermenting tofu in a brine solution, which can include ingredients like vegetables, herbs, and sometimes seafood. The fermentation process gives it a strong odor, which is often described as pungent or foul, but many people enjoy its unique flavor. Despite its smell, stinky tofu is often deep-fried or grilled and served with various sauces. It can be found in night markets and food stalls, where it is typically accompanied by pickled vegetables. The dish has a loyal following and is considered a delicacy by many.
