Fermented bean curd can be used as a condiment, as an ingredient for dipping sauces, or just a hit of salt and flavor to eat with a simple rice/water “pao fan” or porridge, congee, or mantou (plain steamed buns). A bowl of our 20 minute congee, the perfect accompaniment to fermented bean curd.
One report claims that the fermentation process generates isoflavones, and that fermented bean curd could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, lower blood pressure, and prevent osteoporosis.
