Hello stinky tofu (Taiwan)

This is a street food I always look for when I am in Taiwan. The stinky tofu (臭豆腐 / chòudòufu) is fermented tofu. I vividly remember the aroma”, the first time I encountered stinky tofu in a back street in Shenzhen - almost 20 years ago. A street vendor was deep-frying stinky tofu. There was a queue of people waiting for their turn to grab the stuff. I like the version where the stinky tofu is deep-fried and topped with a garnish of pickled vegetables and chilli sauce.
