🍽️ How to Use and Enjoy Fermented Tofu
Once your fermented tofu is ready, here is how to enjoy it:
Serving it the Okinawan way
Eat just two small cubes at a time as an appetizer, paired with a small drink. The flavor is strong, like blue cheese, so a little goes a long way.
Why it is so good for you
Each bite contains a complete health package:
- Prebiotic - from the tofu itself
- Probiotic - from the live bacteria
- Postbiotic - vitamins produced during fermentation
Creative ways to use it
- Season with salt, pepper, or spice after fermentation
- Mix the leftover red sauce with beef stock and cocoa for a rich steak sauce
- Eat it for breakfast with warm rice porridge, like they do in Hong Kong
The most important rule: be playful and experiment with your food.
