Many people consider Asia as a food heaven with attractive and delicious dishes. However, there is
also some really strange food that not everyone is brave enough to try.
Silkworm pupae (con nhộng) in Vietnam
Many villages in the north of Vietnam are famous for raising silkworms (con tằm) and harvest
cocoons to make silk. Therefore, silkworm pupae are very popular in the local markets. First, people wash
the pupae, dry and mix them with salt. Then, they fry pupae with oil and fish sauce. They also cut lemon
leaves into tiny strips and mix them with fried pupae to add more taste to the dish. The pupae’s outer shell is
crunchy while the inside is soft and juicy. It also contains lots of protein.
Stinky tofu in China
Stinky tofu is a kind of fermented tofu. It has a strong unpleasant smell. Some people say it smells like
garbage or wet socks. It’s a popular street food in China, Taiwan or Hongkong. People usually buy it at
night markets or roadside stalls, rather than in restaurants. Traditionally, it is made from fermented milk,
vegetables, meat and Chinese herbs. People can cook stinky tofu in different ways. The most common way
is to deep-fry it and then add garlic, soy sauce and chili sauce. It’s crispy on the outside, but still hot and
smooth on the inside. People serve it with cucumber and pickled cabbage.
