Yunnan Stinky Tofu Rice Noodles are a unique and flavorful local specialty that combines the strong aroma of stinky tofu with the smoothness of rice noodles, presenting a taste experience like no other.

Ingredients

1. Stinky Tofu: The core ingredient of this dish. Made from high-quality soybeans, through a special fermentation process, it develops its characteristic pungent smell and a rich, umami flavor. The stinky tofu used in Yunnan has a unique flavor profile, with a soft and chewy texture inside and a slightly crispy skin after frying or cooking.

2. Rice Noodles: Usually made from local Yunnan rice, these noodles are smooth, tender, and have a good elasticity. They can be of different thicknesses, such as thin and delicate vermicelli or thicker, more substantial rice noodles, both of which can absorb the flavors of the broth and other ingredients well.

3. Broth: The broth is often made by simmering a combination of bones (such as pork or chicken bones), various spices, and seasonings for a long time. It is rich in flavor, providing a savory base for the dish. Ingredients like star anise, cinnamon, ginger, and garlic are commonly used to enhance the aroma of the broth.

4. Toppings and Seasonings: Include chopped green onions, cilantro, pickled vegetables, chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and other seasonings. The pickled vegetables add a tangy and crunchy element, while the chili oil gives the dish a spicy kick according to personal preference. Green onions and cilantro bring a fresh, aromatic note.
