Fermented Tofu (南乳)

Our Fermented Tofu in Red Bean Curd (南乳) is a traditional Cantonese staple, featuring soft, creamy tofu cubes aged in a savory red fermented bean curd brine. The result is a flavorful condiment that’s rich in umami, slightly salty, with a subtle sweetness and a touch of fermented tang.

Commonly used in Hong Kong’s classic braised pork belly with red bean curd (南乳炆肉) and as a bold-flavored stir-fry seasoning, it’s also a favorite pairing with plain congee, providing a satisfying contrast in both flavor and texture. Just a small amount can transform sauces and marinades with deep complexity.
