Fermented bean curd or preserved tofu (腐乳) is a traditional Chinese condiment that improves a dish’s aroma while providing easily-digested protein.
Each variety of fermented bean curd has different flavours and specialities depending on the type of ingredients, starters and brines used.
So what’s so special about Farm Foodies’ fermented bean curd?
What Makes Farm Foodies Fermented Bean Curds Different?
Yummy Yean Bean (curd)
Farm Foodies uses local artisanal Yean bean curds which are fermented naturally using rejuvelac containing more nutrients and flavours.
The bean curd has strong umami and amazing aged flavour, mild sweetness and spicy flavour with creamy mouthfeel after fermentation.
Fermented with Japanese History
Farm Foodies cultivates its own fermented koji rice using a Koji starter (Aspergillus Oryzae) on Sunria pandan white rice.
This koji starter is made by “Hishiroku”, a 300-year old established fermented food manufacturer based in Kyoto. Their Choukaku-kin variety of rice is more likely to maintain its white colour, making it suitable for koji rice.
This type of koji is also commonly used in white miso and sake production.
Fermented Alcohol-Free
Most fermented bean curds are fermented using rice wine. At Farm Foodies, their artisanal fermented bean curds are fermented with zero rice wine or alcohol.
Instead, Farm Foodies use only cultivated koji rice, so that it can be enjoyed by children and all bean curd enthusiasts alike!

What are these white spots? Are they safe to eat?
White spots can appear on Farm Foodies’ fermented bean curd and tempeh.
But don’t worry, these white spots are actually naturally-occurring protein or amino acids!
During the fermentation process, a rich variety of amino acid is produced. Depending on the environment and storage, this can cause a concentration of amino acid to reach saturation point and crystallize.
So rest assured, they are totally safe to eat!
Usage Instructions
Used as a condiment for cooking, sauce-making, marinade or simply mixed into white porridge.
Storage Instructions
Store at a cool and dry place, away from the sunlight. Refrigerate after opening. 1-year shelf life.
