Stinky tofu (Chinese: 臭豆腐; pinyin: chòu dòufu) is a form of fermented tofu, which, as the name suggests, has a strong odor. It is a popular snack in East Asia and particularly China, where it is usually found at night markets or roadside stands, or as a side dish in lunch bars.
Wide regional and individual variations exist in manufacture and preparation. It can be eaten cold, steamed, stewed, or most commonly, fried. It is often accompanied by chile sauce.
From a distance, the odor of stinky tofu is said to resemble that of sewage, even by its enthusiasts, although the flavor when eaten is surprisingly mild, and many who first eat stinky tofu out of curiosity and bravado come to enjoy it for flavor.
Stinky tofu is said to have been a favorite food of Mao Zedong.
