Ferment and fry(15 min)
Marinate tofu in brine 48 hrs (skip this — buy pre-fermented stinky tofu from Weee! or Asian grocer). Deep-fry at 375°F 3-4 min until golden and puffy. Drizzle with chili oil and soy. Hold your nose, open your mind.
Pro Tips for Western Kitchens
Buy it pre-fermented. Making stinky tofu brine from scratch takes weeks and will make your neighbors hate you.
