Yunnan's specialty small tofu

If you’ve tested grilled tofu before, you probably know this letdown: you fire it up on the grill, hoping for that light, puffed bite, only for it to stay flat, turn rubbery or leak out all its flavour. Many fermented tofu options are inconsistent. One batch puffs nicely, the next stays thin and flat, leaving your guests confused and your kitchen staff frustrated. That’s exactly the issue this Shiping small tofu was made to fix. This is the same classic tofu you’ll find at street-side Yunnan BBQ stalls. Thin and compact out of the pack, but once it hits charcoal, griddle or hot oil, it swells up to roughly double its original size. Pull it apart while it’s still steaming hot, and you get that warm, clean soybean scent right away. It’s not just tasty — it gives diners a little moment of fun while eating. It’s far more flexible than only barbecue. Drop it into simmering hot pot broth, deep fry it for quick appetisers, or thread pieces onto skewers. Even after puffing, it holds together…
