Questions about Dried bean curd sheets - Chinese
Several times I have purchased dried bean curd in sheets from chinese
grocery stores. I use it in homemade hot and sour soup. After a very short period of time (less than 6 months) it seems to acquire a stale, almost rancid odor. I am not sure if it comes from the store like this or not. I am able to remove this odor/flavor after soaking in warm water and making several water chages, but is this normal? I have several questions. Does dried bean curd have a very short shelf life, or does it normaly need to be soaked to remove the "off" flavor? I don't think it sits for a long time in the high volume chinese grocery. If you know, I'd sure love to hear about your experience. |
