Red Fermented Tofu
Red Fermented Tofu is a traditional Chinese preserved tofu made by fermenting cubes of tofu in a seasoned brine until they develop a strong, salty, umami-rich flavor and a distinctive red color used widely as a condiment or flavoring agent in East Asian cuisines. It is concentrated in protein and savory compounds, providing about 12g of protein per 100g and is usually used sparingly to add depth to sauces, marinades, stir-fries and braises. Because it’s fermented, it delivers intense savory flavor and an improved amino acid profile compared with unfermented tofu, but it is also notably high in salt, so it’s best used in small amounts or balanced with lower-sodium ingredients.
