Hot Spicy Tofu
- Shilin Night Market
According to folk stories, stinky tofu
was invented by a person named Wang Zhi He (王致和)in the Qing dynasty.
However the versions of the exact story are quite varied.
Because of failing the imperial examination, Wang Zhi He stayed in
Beijing and relied on selling tofu to make a living. One day, because of the
huge quantity of redundant tofu, he tried to cut the tofu into small cubes and
put them into an earthen jar. After several days, he opened up the jar and
found out that the tofu had turned greenish and became extremely smelly. He
tasted the “stinky greenish tofu” and it was surprisingly delicious. And so he
decided to sell those “stinky greenish tofu” as a commodity in his store.
Spicy stinky tofu is a new cooking
method for stinky tofu in Taiwan. Because of the prevalence of spicy hot pot,
Taiwanese people came up with a new idea of forming a rich-flavoured spicy hot
pot soup base by using stinky tofu, duck blood and Chinese sauerkraut as the
ingredients. This innovative cooking method of stinky tofu is now popular in
Taiwanese culture.
