Changshun Ma Lu Fermented Tofu

　　The fermented tofu from Ma Lu Township in Changshun County, Qiannan Prefecture, Guizhou Province—known as "Tunbao Good Fortune"—is a traditional condiment made by fermenting and molding tofu, used for generations by the local Tunbao people and has a history of over 600 years. The product is made from locally grown small soybeans, processed into regular tofu, and then refined with homemade liquor, Sichuan peppercorns, salt, and other ingredients through a meticulous process lasting more than six months. The product has a smooth, soft texture and a long-lasting aftertaste. It can be eaten directly or used as a seasoning in cooking or as a dip, and is a widely renowned specialty food with distinctive Tunbao flavors.
