About


Fermented tofu, called "doufu ru" (豆腐乳) in Chinese, is a type of soya products.  This looks innocent enough, like cubes of tofu immersed in a broth, but it has a very pungent aroma and strong, cheesy flavor.  It comes in two colors.  The white version is often served with rice or used to flavor soups and vegetable dishes, while the red often accompanies meats.  Look for it in jars or crocks in Asian markets.   Store it in the refrigerator after you've opened it, keeping the cubes immersed in liquid or oil to prevent them from drying out and discoloring. foodsubs
