Stinky tofu is a unique street food in Taipei that is loved by locals and adventurous foodies. It is made by fermenting tofu in a brine made from vegetables, herbs, and spices. The fermentation process gives the tofu a strong and pungent smell, hence the name 'stinky' tofu. Despite its strong odor, stinky tofu has a crispy exterior and a soft and creamy interior. It is often served with a spicy sauce and pickled cabbage.
