    I’m from Changsha and I LOOOVE stinky tofu! The best is when you can smell the stall from down the street. So delicious

      Yeah. The stuff in Guiyang has been the strongest I've smelled so far. In a of places it barely even registers as stinky.

        Yeah when it’s made elsewhere they tend to tone it down a lot. And often it’s not as crispy ):

          Are you telling me I've reached peak stinky already (barring that carion stuff I ate in Dali)? That would be sad... 😞

      Last time I was back home in Wuhan my aunt decided to fry some up at home in her poorly ventilated flat and you could smell it for days. Although she also cooked some 臭干子 she bought back from Hunan in the same dinner. 臭豆腐 and 臭干子 in the same meal

          I'm going back to Wuhan this weekend because apparently return flights from Sydney is $550 ish AUD at the moment.

          I'll have to grab some first thing when I get off the plane.

          Well, probably second. First would have to be 热干面

          In Hunan they have a slightly different variety of stinky tofu that's much firmer and "jerky" like (hence stinky jerky, despite not being made of meat). They're usually a bit thinner
