   This is an appreciation toot for fermented tofu! 💖

   I had heard of "stinky tofu", and was a bit scared of it, but this is an entirely different thing! It tastes creamy, salty, pungent and very aromatic.

   Since I discovered it last year, it has become my vegan replacement for blue cheese – I'd encourage you to try it!

   The Chinese characters you're looking for on the label are 腐乳 (fǔrǔ). I've just tried random varieties, some come in chili oil, some in wine. This one from Lao Gan Ma is darn good!
