Deep-fried steamed buns stuffed with stinky tofu

　　Deep-fried steamed buns stuffed with stinky tofu is also one of Tonglu's traditional snacks.

　　The buns are fermented with sweet rice wine. A bun about the size of a rice bowl can be easily held in one hand, yet springs back to its original shape when released. So soft and fluffy.

　　Fried until golden brown, they are cut open while hot, spread with chili sauce in the middle, and topped with one or two pieces of deep-fried stinky tofu—fragrant and spicy, leaving a lasting impression.
