Fermented bean curd, often called "Chinese cheese," is a flavorful condiment originating from East Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese culinary traditions. Made by fermenting tofu cubes in a brine of rice wine, salt, and sometimes chili or spices, it develops a creamy texture and pungent, tangy taste. Commonly used as a seasoning, dipping sauce, or paired with steamed vegetables and rice, fermented bean curd is rich in protein and probiotics, which support digestion and gut health. It also contains calcium, iron, and amino acids, making it a source of several essential nutrients. However, its high sodium content means it should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals managing blood pressure or heart health. Fermented bean curd is a staple in many households, celebrated for its ability to enhance flavor while adding nutritional benefits to a range of dishes.
