Preserved Red Beancurd

Preserved red beancurd is an essential ingredient in Chinese BBQ pork char siu. The preserved red beancurd is bean curd fermented in a brine made from rice wine, salt water and monascus red rice, a deep red yeast that colours the liquid. Over time, the breakdown of proteins softens the bean curd and develops intense umami pugency – praised in stir-fries and braised vegetable dishes. The red yeast also gives the red colour to char sui roast meat, or even fish.
