Like PointAndClique said - it’s a little “funky” so it can be a bit of an acquired taste. It has little chunks of fermented soybeans in it.
A recipe book I have has this pretty good dan dan noodles recipe where you crumble it and cook it with shallots and seasoning to top the noodles with (instead of the ground pork you often find with that dish).
I’d probably do TVP or crumbled tempeh instead of tofu, but it depends on the context of what you’re trying to make
What’s that taste like?
A little bit nutty, a little sour a little bit savoury. It has a more beany flavour than tofu ime

Deliciousness.
it’s sooo good and nutty, i really like crumbling it and frying it until its golden so i can add it to a fried rice with some onions and corn.
tempeh can be a bit expensive where i am though, i want to learn to make it myself but i’m too nervous to try cause i don’t want to mess it up lol
