Mapo tofu and stinky tofu aren't the same thing.

Are you saying to replace the soft variant used with stinky tofu?

You heard of stinky tofu? It's a Chinese street treat: tofu that's been macerated in a vile brine of rotten things. It smells like a latrine, especially when it's fried. In China they cook it outdoors and you can smell the shit-sewage stench from a block away. But actually, the taste is pretty mild and the sauce is delicious.

Well, I bought a jar of it and brought it back to Europe. I had to wrap it in many layers of tape and cling film to minimize the smell. The thing is, I haven't had the courage to open it yet. If I cook it on my terrace, my whole neighbourhood will probably think it's a biological attack.

It's been three years and the jar is still sitting in my cupboard.
