I tried both of your recipes. Had no lotus leaves so I just put the tofu pieces in a bamboo steam basket. The oil one turned out great! Couldn't believe I could make this traditional food myself. The water one had a bit of a bitter taste, so I wasn't sure and throw it away. The oil one was gone in no time; am making it again now. Thanks!

Hi Mandy! Thank you for a detailed instructions. One clarification: “Wait for another week and you can enjoy some nice delicious Chinese fermented tofu. Store it in the fridge. It will last for about 6 months.” Does that mean that after pouring the oil in, you leave the closed jar out at room temperature for a week then refrigerate afterwards? Thank you. Stay safe❤️

That was wonderful. I'm looking to incorporate alot more fermented foods into my diet so thank you so much for this. :) Also, I've watched a number of videos on fermentation, all of them using modern methods so it was so lovely to watch you using the traditional and ancient Chinese method which has been passed down through generations.. (and I've seen alot of videos on the making of vegan cheese where they use the plain fermented tofu as a vital ingredient, so that and the fact that I've been in love with tofu from the first time I ever tried it makes me even more excited to try your method. Thanks you so much again! It was a pleasure to watch and to learn. :)

THANK YOU! This is awesome. We use fermented tofu all the time - stir fry/congee/stew a bit bland? a few pieces stirred in pep it right up without overwhelming the other flavours! It's also great if you mix a few pieces into rice. I'm always getting American friends to try it, since very few have ever heard of it, or tried it. Anyhow - thank you so much - I've made it both ways now - and even done a batch where I used dried CURRY leaves instead of Taro - it came out tremendously well, too (2 pieces in Biryani and WOW what a wonderful addition). You REALLY helped, dear friend - thank you!

I never thought it was possible to make this at home! I don't like the taste of the brands available in Chinese markets the States. They tend to taste artificial or too funky. I have a favorite brand 豆腐乳 from Sichaun called 夹江豆腐乳。Have you heard of this brand? It's totally addicting! I'd like to attempt to re-create this flavor, it's very spicy and salty. The tofu are literally covered in chillies. Perhaps I'll try your method but make a small batch. Thank you for sharing!

I've just made the spicy oil cured version and I'm counting down the days until I can try it!! I have a question though, I'm hoping you can help with. I want to make larger batches, it would save me some time. But I don't have much space in the fridge. Is there any other way to prepare the furu so that I can store them for 3-6 months without having to put them in the fridge? I'd be so grateful for your help. Thanks Malin

Rice and rice straw naturally contains lacto bacillis and will ferment anything. I dont know about lotus leaves. Plus, fermentation is usually done in an anaerobic environment. I think the pink colors on your tofu is salmonella . I make natto, kimchi, kombucha, kvass, and yogurt. I am learning about tofu and fermented tofu.
