How to make stinky tofu

We buy some tofu from the market, and then cut the tofu with little water into pieces of uniform size, about 3 cm long and 3 cm wide. Next, we will put the tofu blocks in a cardboard box, lay them layer by layer, and spread straw inside first, so that the temperature will be kept at about 20 degrees. After about 5 days, tofu will turn long white with a little green fimbriae. Then we can remove the pili from the tofu, and then put the tofu in the jar, first put a layer of tofu and then sprinkle a layer of salt. After 7 days, turn the jar upside down, then put a layer of tofu and sprinkle a layer of spiced. The last thing we have to do is pour some tofu paste on it and seal the jar. Wait until two months later, and the stinky tofu will be ready. The stinky tofu made by yourself is no different from the stinky tofu sold outside, but it will be more delicious than the stinky tofu sold outside. Then you can fry stinky tofu at home and dip it in sauce, not to mention how delicious it is. In the process of making stinky tofu, we need to pay attention to the curing time. It takes about 7 days to make a layer of tofu with a layer of salt first, and then it can be poured after 7 days, and then make a layer of tofu with five spices. It will take two months to cure stinky tofu. If you don't master the time well, stinky tofu will definitely taste bad, and it doesn't have the unique aroma of stinky tofu. Therefore, in the process of making stinky tofu, we must pay attention to the time and choose tofu with less water content in the initial stage of fermentation, because only in this way can tofu ferment long hair smoothly, otherwise it will be difficult to make delicious stinky tofu in the later stage.
