Wangzhihe Fermented Traditional Bean Curd 250g (Pack of 2)

Perfect thanks

This is a standard item that is usually used in preparing Chinese barbecue pork, known as Char Siu; which is pork shoulder cut. The only basic function it has is to turn the edges of the port bright red which is standard in Chinese cooking. Doesn't add much in the way of flavor that I can discern, but it's not supposed to. Would buy again if needed. Well packaged and the jar is glass so it's just fine.

Order is for two bottles, giving you just over 1 pound of bean curd. That should last you quite a while.

The media could not be loaded. This item arrived leaky and open. It was compromised and not usable.

The bean paste jars arrived broken. I was able to get a new bottle and use it for a char sui pork recipe. It was easy to work with and tasted great.

This stuff is absolutely great, strongly flavorful. I'm vegan and this is the closest thing to cheese in my diet, although it's like a very spicy and soft cheese. I mash up the tofu in the sauce and use it as a veggie pizza sauce. If you've never had fermented tofu, it may not taste like anything you've had before, but if you are adventurous, this is great stuff.

I have tried other brands before that are not as good, whereas this one is perfection in a jar, extremely flavorful and versatile. Shhhh! I sneak out in the middle of the night and eat this Wangzhihe Bean Curd by the spoonful on its own. I also like to add it to marinades or straight from the jar on the side with rice or noodles. Taste buds are overwhelmed with immense delight, may I have some more. Thank you.
