Known as "mao doufu," this unique Anhui delicacy is a must-try for adventurous food lovers. The tofu is fermented for weeks. During this period, it develops a white, velvety coating that gives it its "hairy" appearance. But don't let looks deceive you – this delicacy packs a powerful punch of tangy, umami flavor! Hairy tofu can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, although you'll often see it deep-fried until it turns golden and crispy on the outside while remaining tender and creamy on the inside.
