In this episode of her Changsha food adventure series, Vegan In China, Alex explores the bustling Nanmenkou street food market. Alex's journey begins with a sampling of various fried tofu dishes, showcasing the diverse textures and flavors. The fried tofu skin, described as crispy like a potato chip, is a standout.
Next, Alex tackles Changsha's famous stinky tofu. She tries both the white and black varieties, noting the differences in taste and texture between them and comparing them to her experiences in Beijing. The white stinky tofu, surprisingly not stinky after frying, is described as soft and silky, complemented by a spicy dipping sauce. The black stinky tofu, on the other hand, boasts a stronger, more pungent flavor.
To balance the richer flavors, Alex concludes her culinary journey with a refreshing fruit snack from Guizhou province. The fruit, tossed with sour plum powder and chili, offers a unique sweet, sour, and spicy combination. Alex expresses her surprise and delight at this unexpected dessert, highlighting its vibrant flavors and freshness.
The episode ends at a charming bar overlooking the street, where Alex enjoys a passion fruit cocktail, reflecting on her Changsha food adventure.
