Personal Connection

I really love this recipe because it is super simple and reminds me of Taiwan's fried stinky tofu. I used to absolutely avoid stinky tofu as a kid, but one day, I took a closer look and realized that it's just fried fermented tofu with a really fragrant garlic soy sauce drizzled on top.  I took a bite and loved it ever since. This is a good lesson for me to not judge something just based on its name. For people who are hesitant about stinky tofu, I recommend just thinking about it as vegan cheese and ignore the "stinky" in the name.

I can't easily get stinky tofu now, but this recipe comes close to it, and I'm so glad it is incredibly convenient to make.
