Would you try a bite? 😎
Who was the first to eat it? I would’ve thought it’s not edible and has to be thrown out
Man, I've wanted to try this for SO LONG, which is so weird, because I normally hate things like blue cheese or lots of types of mushrooms, so I want to think that I won't like it? But it looks so good, I want to eat it just once, to see how it goes, and then if I like it enough? Heyyyy, buy lots of the mold powder and the tofu!
I'll take my tofu bald, thank you .
Emmy will you make Athens, GA tofu from The Grit Cookbook?
if you ever do this again you should record a time lapse! 🙂
I want to try this so badly. I saw a documentary about tofus or bean curds used in so many ways. This has been my absolute favorite. There are some that looked like hard cheese. It was back in the 90s when i last saw it. When it’s on tv i would watch it and be captivated by the different kinds.
OMG I'm so glad you made this! I discovered hairy tofu after watching Dianxi Xiaoge make it. I literally was YouTubing this a few months ago trying to check out a recipe! I'm so excited to try this.
despite the normalized racism when it comes to culturally different foods (it’s not “brave” to not be a close minded weirdo, it’s food that’s been made for 2000 years, i can’t hurt you!) this is one of my FAVORITE snacks and im so glad you made a video about it. makes me think of my childhood ❤
Emmy definitely has a Hairy…muff😊
What is a funky taste? Cream cheese and feta , doesn't sound too weird. Is it a bad taste? Bitter or like it's going bad? I just don't know. Not sure I would eat it.
looks like you pixelated the tofu
❤ Simply Delicious ❤ The food looks good too 😋
No thank you.
They look like fuzzy dice without the spots 😌
Absolutely not.
Only Emmy looks at a chunk of moldy tofu and goes, "Oh yeah, I gotta get in on THAT!" haha One of the few times I'm perfectly happy living 100% vicariously through the safety of a YouTube video 🤪 Props! 🤙🏾🌺
Alcohol taste? How about formaldehyde?😮
Yikes 😬!!
Where to get innoculant?
"Ooo weee oooo! Haiiryy toffuuu!"
Food that started as an accident but was eaten by people who were desperately hungry, and they didn't die from it so it became a delicacy. 🙂
oh hell no! just looking at them make my skin crawl and gag!
Yum yum yum, my comfort food!
Man, you're brave
I mean no offense, I’m genuinely curious if this is safe to eat. Because it’s mold don’t you risk getting sick?
ohhh no girl… As someone who's had mold poisoning, I don't know about this one lol
