Description

Hot fermented bean curd is a soybean-based preserve used both as a condiment and ingredient in Asian cooking. The curd is cut into rough cubes and pickled in a hot brine, giving it a long shelf-life. The fermentation technique, based on old rural methods, involve aging the bean curd in dry rice straw for a few weeks, and then bottling it in strong alcohol with a chilli spice kick.

Use the hot fermented bean curd to introduce pungent, cheese-like aromas to dishes. Also add the hot curd to sauces – or even a splash of the juice to enhance flavours. The red flecks and spicy notes makes this a versatile sauce, chosen over the plain variety by chilli-lovers.

Ingredients: Water, soybean, salt, cooking wine, chilli
