Lettuce with Fermented Tofu (腐乳炒生菜) | 5 Ingredients Simple Chinese Stir-fry

A simple recipe with just five ingredients: Fermented tofu with lettuce stir-fry.

Think of cheese or kimchi—any fermented item will produce exceptional flavors, and tofu is no exception.

Fermented tofu (beancurd) has become a staple in many Chinese dishes, including this one. Because it is already packed with flavor, there is no need to add many more ingredients.

It is light, vibrant, and packed with irresistible wok aroma. This recipe showcases the magic of minimal ingredients—crunchy lettuce, garlic, chili, and fermented beancurd—working in harmony.

Let’s get cooking and bring this Asian classic to your table!

Arrived in America just in time to try these Chinese chicken cookies(???), which apparently are made with pork fat instead of butter. Huh! They have an excellent crumbly texture with a crisp outside, and they're tasty, sweet but mildly savory. I'd never had a savory cookie before.

The one thing is that there's a spice taste I can't identify, so it's hard to tell if I like them. Have you ever taken a sip of soda thinking it was water and it tastes terrible and frightening but then you realize it's not water and it tastes fine? It's like that; if I could place the flavor, I think I'd probably really enjoy these. My dad loves them, anyway.

Having an odd/“rare” allergy sucks in of itself, but it also being something that is basically apart of everything???? Makes it a thousand times worse. It’s a constant “on today’s episode of what am I allergic to?” The answer is cough syrup and now I have to message my doctor to find out what I can take when I am a little sick

oh man i tried a volcano vape and got absolutely baked and it’s the best

[ID: First image is of a golden brown boule studded with blueberries and covered with seeds; second image shows the boule cut in half to show a holely bread with blueberries throughout. End ID]

Rustic no-knead blueberry bread

This is a crusty, no-knead, sweet-savory bread that pairs blueberries with spices and herbs inspired by West Asian cooking. Fennel, anise, sesame, and mahlab powder are reminiscent of the دُقَّة كَعْك ("duqqa ka'k"; cake powder) used in pastries, while za'tar and caraway skew more savory.

The long rise yields a well-fermented dough with a robust flavor that stands up well against the sweetness and pungency of the fennel and aniseed. The result is a jammy, complex, aromatic boule.

This bread has an open, irregular crumb, great for slicing, toasting, dipping, or spreading. Try it with labna and honey, olive oil and za'tar, or a spreadable cheese. I've also made sandwiches with thick slices of this bread and fried, glazed tofu drizzled with tarator and topped with Iraqi mango pickles, to excellent effect.

Makes one medium-sized boule.

Ingredients:

3 cups (360g) bread flour

2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp dry active yeast

2 tsp mahlab powder (optional)

1 tsp fennel seed + 1 tsp aniseed, coarsely ground

About 1 2/3 cup water (room temperature)

1/2 cup firm fresh blueberries

1 Tbsp za’tar (wild thyme), crumbled

Additional fennel seeds, aniseed, caraway, and sesame, to top

Mahlab (محلب) powder is the ground-up pits of Mahleb cherries. It can be purchased at a halal or specialty spice store.

Za'tar (wild thyme) can be found in dried form at a halal grocery store. Note that the spice blend, which includes wild thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, and other spices, will also be labelled "za'tar." If you don't have or can't locate any of the herb itself, use any dried woody herb of your choice (e.g. rosemary, thyme, sage), chopped.

Instructions:

1. Making the dough. Measure flour into a large mixing bowl. Add salt, yeast, seeds, and thyme and stir to combine.

2. Gradually add water until a soft, sticky dough forms. You may need more or less than 1 2/3 cup.

3. Flatten dough in the bowl and top with some of the blueberries. Fold the dough to enclose the blueberries, add more blueberries on top, and fold again. Repeat until all blueberries are incorporated.

4. First rise. Shape dough into a ball and place in the bowl seam-side down. Pat the top of the dough with some olive oil and cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Allow to rest at room temperature for 16-20 hours.

5. Shaping. Gently remove the dough from the bowl and allow it to deflate. Shape the boule by folding an edge in over the center, rotating the dough slightly, and repeating until you have gone all the way around.

6. Flip the ball over so the seam side is down. Place your hands on either side of the dough and then move them down towards the base of the boule, tucking some of the dough under and towards the seam, to tighten the top of the ball. Rotate the ball slightly and do this again, repeating until you've gone all the way around a couple times.

This is the basic method for shaping a boule, lightly adapted to avoid breaking any blueberries. If any of the blueberries start to pop out of the surface of the dough, just press them back in.

7. Second rise. Place your boule on a piece of parchment paper and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to rise for 1-2 hours, until noticeably puffy.

8. Baking. Place a Dutch oven in your oven and preheat to 450 °F (230 °C). Remove the Dutch oven and place the boule, along with the parchment paper, inside. Put the lid on the Dutch oven and return it to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

9. Remove the Dutch oven's lid and bake bread for another 20 minutes, or until the crust is deeply golden brown.

To bake the bread without a Dutch oven, preheat a baking tray in the center of the oven, while preheating a skillet (rated to at least 450 °F) in the bottom; once preheated, transfer the bread and parchment paper to the tray, and pour a few cups of water in the skillet; bake for 30 minutes. Remove the skillet and bake another 20 minutes until golden brown.

Allow the bread to cool completely before cutting into it to avoid creating a mushy texture.

if u have dysautonomia and have been told eat extra salt I have a tip for u. go to ur local Asian grocery and get for fermented tofu. it comes in jars, usually red and white. take out HALF a piece of it. you do not want a whole piece trust me. you will not initially survive a whole piece. spread it on toast or throw it on rice. u will be salted into the next millennium. it's so good. but so salty. new Evil Breakfast just dropped

I thought the "be gay, do crime" memes were a joke about the criminalization of queer identities, but apparently they're not?

Some fujo discource crossed my dash and I thought it was weird that a website full of people who joyously reclaim the concept of their identities being criminal would freak out at the idea of people self labeling as "rotten women".

Which was a weird way to find out that the "crime" in the memes is supposed to be shoplifting and vandalism and other teenage "acting out" behavior, and it was never a radical queer statement to begin with.

--

It would also be nice if people grasped that 腐 shows up not just in 腐る but in 豆腐, and 腐女子 sounds the same as 婦女子.

It's not rotten like morally depraved. It's literal mold or fermentation or fucking tofu. And a pun on 'respectable woman'.

The reason it got reclaimed is probably because it's fucking funny.

--

The original Be Gay, Do Crime graffiti may have meant something radical. Social media immediately turned it into turnstile jumping and shoplifting.
