Chili oil with beancurd - Tofu in chili oil, Lao Gan Ma

This product consists of tofu cubes preserved in cooking wine and other spices. It has an extremely addictive and rich flavor, often used as a dipping sauce, condiment, and mixed into sauces for hot pot, rice, or congee. The smell might take some getting used to for some; similar to aged cheese, the fermented tofu takes on a different flavor. The oil ranges from savory to spicy, depending on personal preference.
