Furu - fermented soy bean curd

I was stunned to find this preserve on the shelf of my local grocery store! Shuikou furu (水口腐乳) is a type of fermented tofu (bean curd) originated from Guangdong Kaiping, China. It comes in small cubes of about 1" big, with a salty and rich fermented taste.

I mince the furu cubes into a paste with sesame oil and garlic powder. It makes a great sauce for hotpot dinner or any boiled white meat with ample spring onions. After just a little spoonful of it, my husband decided that he liked it and wanted more. ;)
