Hidden Gem at Kaisyuan Night Market: Fermented Stinky Tofu Soaked in Green Juice

““Our tofu is all soaked and fermented in vegetable juice, with no weird chemical seasonings,”the owner explained while stirring the broth, noting that the stinky tofu here uses vegetable juice for fermentation to give the tofu a natural “stinky fragrance.” A whole pot of stinky tofu is displayed in a transparent container right at the front of the stall — a promise to customers. If anyone has doubts about the ingredients, the owner confidently declares his “Stinky Tofu Manifesto”: “If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll eat the loss — it’s on me.”

The stinky tofu, which appears green in the broth, loses its green color after frying. The “Fermented Stinky Tofu” is deep-fried to seal in the juices, resulting in a slightly thicker and crunchier skin. When you take a bite, you can see the beautiful sight of juices seeping from the pores. “A lot of stinky tofu in Taiwan is just too smelly for me to eat, but this one tastes really good,” said Mr. Ou from the United States. The stinky tofu here lacks the overpowering sharpness of typical versions, instead offering a crispy, fragrant taste with a natural bean aroma. Paired with the owner’s homemade pickles, it’s addictive.
