Hairy tofu is what its name suggests: tofu with wisps of white hair growing out of it.

The hairs are the result of a fungal spore that inoculates the tofu, giving it a texture akin to blue cheese.

It’s a beloved specialty in the Chinese province of Anhui, where people eat it braised or pan-fried. We went to a town in Anhui to try it out.
