It looks like it's dressed in black, smells bad and tastes delicious. What do you think this is? Yes, this is the famous "Mo Bao stinky tofu"! Although it is humble, it has spread all over Sanxiang and its reputation has spread all over China! People from all over the country will go to Changsha to taste when they come to Hunan.
Speaking of stinky tofu, I have to admire it. This guy really has some history: it is said that a scholar in the Qing Dynasty went to Beijing to catch the exam, but he didn't want to leave Sun Shan, so his travel expenses were gone. I had no choice but to sell tofu to satisfy my hunger, but tofu seemed to provoke him on purpose, and it stinks to death. He had to put diced radish, coriander and chopped pepper into tofu to cover up the taste of tofu, but as a result, the taste of tofu became beautiful. "Stinky tofu" has spread from the people.
Stinky tofu is wearing a black skirt. Because it once took a hot bath in salt water, it was nicknamed "stinky tofu". Its width is about 4 cm, its length is about 5 cm, and its height is about 2 cm, so it looks like a cuboid and stands on the table like a square ink bottle.
The smell of stinky tofu is even more unique: with a bite, stinky tofu will burst into a fragrant and spicy oil fragrance. The crispy skin is full of chewiness, crisp outside and tender inside, and the spicy taste is sour and refreshing, which makes people want to eat more pieces after eating one piece. Once, I ate several pieces in a row and spilled oil all over the table and clothes. However, I'm not surprised. Then continue to eat happily. You said that the burnt skin, tender taste and hot and sour taste are hard to forget after eating once. How can you have the heart to blame it? No wonder I heard that Chairman Mao also had a soft spot for it.
Because it is very delicious, it is a classic food on the table of Hunan people, so it has greatly won the attention of tourists coming to Hunan. It is said that countless people come to Changsha Fire Palace to eat stinky tofu, and there are long queues every day. Therefore, stinky tofu has become one of the most local and popular foods in Hunan.
Although the stinky tofu is small and smelly, it adds a lot of beautiful feelings to our taste buds and leaves a deep and beautiful impression.
