Description had me with tastes a bit like blue cheese. Whereas I like brie, camembert, the sharp, moldy flavour on bleu is too strong for me

[-]

I hate blue cheese, but love century egg, it is not cheesy at all, I would say its sulfuric.

In my Thai language, we call it “ไข่เยี้ยวม้า”(kaiyeowmaa) or translated to English as “Horse pee egg” because its color look similar like horse pee

helloiamsilver@reddit

Everyone making a fuss about the century egg I’m far more concerned with what looks like a whole ass uncooked block of tofu under that pile

[-]

phishystick@reddit

silken tofu is regularly eaten cold as an appetizer of sorts in asian cuisine

[-]

helloiamsilver@reddit

That’s fair. I do still think it should probably be cut into bite sized pieces instead of being in whole block form.

[-]

phishystick@reddit

silken tofu is very hard to cut into small pieces as it's super soft, almost like pudding

[-]

madmaxturbator@reddit

Century egg is a delicacy (hence, very much edible and more of course)

I legit thought this was mini roaches :(

Imagine biting into something and then I tell you that as you’re eating it

It’s safe to eat omg🫩 put it in white rice congee along with some lean pork and green onions, and it’s delicious

[-]

I thought the egg was one of those food bars from Snowpiercer.

nonamer18@reddit

Is your bf Chinese? Not too out of the ordinary, this is a real dish.

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

What Chinese dish has this sauce over it ? I am genuinely asking, all the tofu with century eggs recipes I could find have soy and oyster sauce on them.

[-]

Disastrous_Yellow_46@reddit

My guess is sesame paste (tahini) mixed with soy sauce and maybe some vinegar/sugar. 芝麻凉面酱. He could have mixed it smoother and less thick, but its real and its great.

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

Interesting. Still looks a little odd, could use better plating, but the flavor combination is intriguing.

[-]

mijo_sq@reddit

It’s pretty decent. In Taiwan I’ve eat similar one. Cold tofu, century egg slices, soy sauce, and lots bonito flakes.

[-]

It's very likely century egg sauce made of mashed century egg yolks, not sesame paste, especially since the "whites" of the century eggs are present but the yolks are nowhere to be seen. Century egg tofu is a pretty common asian cold dish.

[-]

The_Boner_Temple@reddit

This honestly sounds bomb as fuck, I love century egg and tofu!

[-]

nonamer18@reddit

It doesn't have to be an official dish. You're not going to find something that looks like this at a restaurant or even an online recipe site. You mix what sauce you like/have. Some common condiments to add and mix are: soy sauce, black vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, raw garlic, chili oil, etc. I would guess this one either has sesame/peanut paste, and/or some kind of fermented tofu.

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

Someone below also guessed sesame paste. I wonder if he used the yolks of the century eggs and mixed them in ? I don't see any on top.

[-]

nonamer18@reddit

Oh wow I think you're spot on! That colour is a bit off from a regular sauce, so I'm pretty sure you are right. Almost looks like fermented stinky tofu!

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

OP answered in a comment that it has sesame paste and apparently "more century egg" !

[-]

GeshtiannaSG@reddit

Sometimes Japanese sesame dressing (Kewpie or similar).

The choice of putting sesame sauce on a whole block of tofu is. Questionable. I would’ve personally used chili oil

[-]

meepmeepcuriouscat@reddit

I grew up eating things with the same taste profile… if I could just say, he needs to make a choice:

Sesame sauce OR century egg. Not both.

If it’s sesame sauce - dilute with a few drops of water, pour over, garnish with green onion.

If it’s century egg - skip the sesame sauce. Just do soy sauce with a little sugar, then garnish with century egg slices, not chunks. Green onion goes well here too.

Other option - look into salted egg sauces. But whichever way he goes, you need to slice the tofu before plating and putting the sauce on.

[-]

Gronodonthegreat@reddit

[-]

All_Wrong_Answers@reddit

Dunno, boyfriend said he found it in a dumpster after a racoon gave birth.

[-]

JazzlikeJaguar230@reddit

It’s a century egg sauce using the yolks. Sprinkled with the remaining bits of the egg. It looks a bit OTT here but the idea is an actual dish served at restaurants. That’s a pretty thoughtful bf - don’t yuck his yum.

[-]

joran26@reddit

Why does the egg look like a broken beer bottle (TT)

[-]

Borealissssss@reddit

Comments on this feel like thinly veiled racism. Cold tofu with sesame sauce and century egg is a pretty common appetizer in China and is quite good. Sure he could have plated it better but he’s eating it himself at home. Even op mentioned trying it and it being not bad.

I’m tired of white people seeing common Asian ingredients like century egg and immediately jumping to “omg ewwww”.

He didn't even pan fry or bake the block of tofu. Maybe cut into two layers. Or cubes or strips.

Cold tofu with sesame sauce is pretty common. Usually served as a block, you just cut it with your chopsticks.

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

I like tofu in a lot of dishes, I just don't like it like this ! I sincerely hope this block was at least steamed, and even then the ratio of surface area to sauce to garnish displeases me.

[-]

DescriptionFancy420@reddit

It's a cold dish. No one ever asks if cold cheese was steamed first.

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

Not really a fair comparison. Most tofu dishes people in the West are familiar with have the tofu either pan-fried, baked, or fried, or at least if silken being in a hot sauce or stew like mapo tofu or sundubu jjigae. The sadness of this image is also probably amplified by that cement-looking sauce.

[-]

DescriptionFancy420@reddit

Extremely fair comparison considering tofu and cheese are made in very similar ways. Not tofu's fault westerners are ignorant.

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

tofu and cheese are made in very similar ways

Who cares if they're made in similar ways if their flavor profiles and use cases are completely different ?

[-]

DescriptionFancy420@reddit

You keep intentionally missing the point, which is that whites have colonized or attempted to colonize the entire rest of the world to the point where they're forced to know about and adopt western practices, clothing, culture, every fucking thing. Meanwhile westerners get to not only be ignorant of everyone else whose countries, societies, histories, economies they've ruined and go "eeeeeeeewww" at perfectly normal things.

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

I grew up in a country that was colonized, so yes I am aware of that. I don't get what that has to do with a frankly unappetizing-looking block of cold silken tofu (which, to me, is the inferior tofu variety, sorry).
