Shanghai Fermented Red Beancurd, 500g

Fermented red beancurd has a salty, savoury flavour. It adds instant umami to sauces, marinades and braised meat dishes. In China, it’s often served as a condiment for rice or congee. 

The fermentation process gives the bean curd a smooth, dairy-like texture. This is why it’s sometimes called ‘Chinese cheese’. In Cantonese cuisine, fermented bean curd is used to stir fry vegetables. Try adding a spoonful to wok-fried green beans, pak choy or spinach.

When it comes to using fermented beancurd, a little goes a long way. Use too much and its funky, salty flavour can overwhelm your dish. A small amount will add depth to Asian stews and stir fries. It’s also great for marinating ribs and wings.

Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate after opening.
