1. Prepare wild amaranth. When pulling amaranth home, first remove the leaves, leaving only thick stems, then cut it into sections with long fingers, wash it, put it in a casserole and spread it with clear water. It is better to have no amaranth stalk.
2. After these steps are completed, cover the casserole and put it in the outdoor sun for one day and one night. When white bubbles appear in clear water, amaranth stalks can be picked up. These bubbles are the mother liquid for making stinky tofu.
3. Then move the casserole back to the house and put it in a corner of the kitchen that is not very ventilated, and buy an old tofu.
4. Crush the prepared tofu pieces and pour in the previous amaranth water.
These beancurd will become the culture medium for bacterial fermentation, and then cover the casserole and let it stand for 2~3 days.
6. Open the lid again, and the soup soaked in the amaranth stalk has changed from red to light green. The water looks clear, but it smells bad, and then I bought the pressed tofu.
7. Soak in stinky tofu water for one night.
8. Pick it up the next day, rinse it with clear water, cut it into small pieces and fry it in the oil pan. Dried tofu will be fluffy and loose.
9. Seasoning is prepared according to your own taste. Eating stinky tofu with spicy sauce vinegar and homemade dipping sauce is more delicious.
