Stinky-tofu stalls, Qibao
×Chou Doufu (stinky tofu)
Why you must eat itFermented tofu deep-fried — a pungent specialty. Fried, the outside goes black and crisp while the inside crumbles soft. Eaten with sweet bean sauce or chili oil. You find the stall by smell, yet fresh-fried it is milder than it smells, and one taste has you drifting back. On a skewer as you walk.
Stinky tofu is an emblematic Jiangnan and Shanghai snack, sold fresh-fried on skewers or paper plates in Qibao. Fermentation and frying vary by shop — the black Changsha style and Shanghai's paler line. On the old street it is usually eaten with sweet bean sauce. A dish always somewhere along the lane.
