Emmy!!! I recently rediscovered your channel after about five years, and I want to thank you for being such a comfort to me through hard times. Years ago, I was really struggling with my mental health, and lately, I’ve unfortunately hit an all-time low. Your videos are always so pleasant and soothing, not to mention incredibly thorough and informative. The nostalgia I feel from watching them has been a huge help when I’m feeling down. Please never stop creating-I’m so grateful for you and your content!
Big hugs to you my friend ❤️🩹 As someone also struggling, it’s not always visible to everyone around you and it can feel very lonely. But you’re not alone 🤗 I come here because Emmy’s channel is a safe space for me as well. I hope that you’re doing okay right now and just remember tomorrow is a new day ❤️
Something similar happened to me with kahm yeast. I used to store my fermented foods in a cabinet. Kahm yeast grew on my kefir and even though it’s harmless, it’s unwanted so I tossed that batch and the grains and fermented a new one in the same cabinet. Kahm yeast grew on it again. Now I can’t ferment anything in that cabinet again. I did clean it with bleach but I don’t think it’s enough so better not risk losing more batches.
@@dinnyskips The timestamp you dropped is Emmy saying, "be sure you know what you're eating," not her saying "I thoroughly cleaned out the box after I got the desired mold for this one time I want it." Even if it's safe to consume, if Emmy uses this proofing box and it isn't sanitized correctly, her future foods, likely bread, will have mold, even if edible, on it.
I've seen videos on this in the past, and decided to look them up right now. Saw Emmy posted this and about cried. I love her videos. Her dango video is one my daughter watched a LOT when she was little. I can remember sitting in the Las Vegas airport waiting for our flight to Seattle and my daughter put the dango video on.
OMG I'm so glad you made this! I discovered hairy tofu after watching Dianxi Xiaoge make it. I literally was YouTubing this a few months ago trying to check out a recipe! I'm so excited to try this.
as someone who came from Anhui province I can add a few notes. 1.the very first tofu was accidentally created in northern Anhui region thousands of years ago. However the hairy tofu is only available in the southern mountain region of Anhui. 2.the hairy tofu making is also the same process of the first half of fermented bean curd making.
Does it produce some sort of alcohol…as Emmy mentioned in its taste. Maybe making the people of that region a little hi like the mountainous worker who chew the coca leaves in s. America.
@@Oskigal based on what I found that molds in tempeh (Rhizopus) are not exact the same as those in mold tofu (Mucor). however they both belongs to mucoraceae.
Hi, Emmy! I'm commenting today to thank you for always being such a ray of sunshine. ☀️🧡 I've had a really challenging week, but you never fail to bring a smile and thoughtful content. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for you!
I want to try this so badly. I saw a documentary about tofus or bean curds used in so many ways. This has been my absolute favorite. There are some that looked like hard cheese. It was back in the 90s when i last saw it. When it’s on tv i would watch it and be captivated by the different kinds.
Since you are into these kinds of things you should keep an eye out for "corn smut". It's a fungal infestation of corn that apparently tastes quite nice.
I always see hairy tofu videos pop up on my FYP and honestly it looks so floofy and delicious after they gave it a good mix with various spices so I am extra excited to see you try it!
OHHHH i wasn't expecting emmy to do the sauce fried version! she has got to try the other way as well!!! you spray alcohol all over the tofu in a big metal bowl then sprinkle tons and tons of pepper, chilli powder, paprika, sugar, salt, the seasonings go in a airtight container, you shake it in there, then you pour it into the metal bowl of tofu and mixxxxxxx well and it becomes a strong flavoured appetizer to add to your rice meals!!!
I can't believe you've done this! Hairy tofu, on Emmymade? I thought I was dreaming for a second. Will you try submerging it in brine for a few months and making fermented bean curd with the leftovers? Also, sourcing mucor spores is VERY difficult if you live in the USA. Would you be able to share the link you found them at? I couldn't find it in the description.
Wanna know what else is made with mold? Sake, soy sauce, miso, gochujang, and tempeh. The mold used to make these foods has been cultivated over millennia to have a delicious nutty and fruity aroma, and smells nothing like the disgusting fuzz that grows on rotting food.
@@AJ-xx5ik I actually really enjoy blue cheese (all types) and even certain places that serve casu martzu. It can be great but absolutely must be done right
I see a lot of street vendor vids also mix the hairy tofu in a big bowl of dry spices, and the 'hairs' flatten and pretty much disappear, then its stored like kimchi in a container to further ferment for a couple more days. It always looks tasty to me.
I haven't watched RUclips for years but have been watching again recently and somehow I remembered your name (I never remember RUclipsrs names) and it's so cool to see you're still making videos!! I'm getting ready to buy a house Ina couple months (just need to decide on a place which is so difficult) and finally have the opportunity to cook which I haven't had the chance due to my small kitchen in my apt so I'm really excited to finally get to cook cook and finally get yo make some of the stuff you make in your videos! Also congrats on having 3 million subscribers! Idr what you were at a few years ago the last time I watched but congrats Emmy!!
Only Emmy looks at a chunk of moldy tofu and goes, "Oh yeah, I gotta get in on THAT!" haha One of the few times I'm perfectly happy living 100% vicariously through the safety of a RUclips video 🤪 Props! 🤙🏾🌺
Re: fungus vs mold - all molds are fungi! Mucor is a genus of molds. Fungus is the Kingdom - like Animal, Plant, etc. The darker ones are likely later in their lifecycle, so they've probably already spored.
Yay! My favorite kind of Emmy video! I like it when you cook various recipes and watch every one, but this is the kind of video that made me follow you years ago. Much love!
Do you know if it actually contains alcohol? I made kefir at home once, not knowing that it contains up to 1½% alcohol, but could detect it immediately when I tasted it.
Dear Emmy, Wow, I just love new techniques and as an ardent blue cheese fan I would certainly love to try the fuzzy wuzzy tofu. Mao (if I'm remembering correctly) is Fur and or feathers. Feathery tofu. on the road to stinky.... Always make rice. All the best from Mexico Jacques
👏Emmy, that looks delicious! If it's anything like Tempeh, it should taste great 👍😁 You certainly have a lot of scaredy cats commenting here. In California and Oregon, we've been able to buy prepared Tempeh for at least 30 years probably 40 years. ☑️ APPROVED 😌👏
Man, I've wanted to try this for SO LONG, which is so weird, because I normally hate things like blue cheese or lots of types of mushrooms, so I want to think that I won't like it? But it looks so good, I want to eat it just once, to see how it goes, and then if I like it enough? Heyyyy, buy lots of the mold powder and the tofu!
Question: is this the same as the fermented tofu in jars? Your description of it as creamy and with an alcoholic taste made me wonder. Used to flavor sauces.
Hey! Did you ever make Blue Cheese? I’d love to see you do that, and/or make more cheese in general. If you haven’t already, I think its a good idea for a really interesting video, or video series. Maybe time consuming but really cool. Now I’m hungry…Oh look, some red wine! 🧀
In a similar vein, I highly recommend watching 'Gold of the Plateau' which is a beautiful 6 minute documentary (here on YT) where the 'gold' will REALLY make you wonder 'Who the heck ever thought to eat THAT!!" And yes, fungus plays a part there too. Cheers from Oz!
I always wanted to try hairy tofu! Good to know you can make it at home i'm absolutely trying to get my hands on some inoculant from now on 😊 and there's many other ways this type of tofu is eaten, even pickled
My wife will eat most things but we both had childhoods filled with removing mold from bread and such before eating and I sincerely doubt I could get her to eat it. I'm pretty sure I couldn't get me to either.
Once mold is visible on bread it’s already in the bread. You shouldn’t eat any loaf of bread that has visible mold on it or you can get sick. Obviously no way you could have known that as a kid, but just something to keep in mind for the future!
@@sapphoculloden5215 Oh I know. I just wanted to point out the bit about the bread. Some people don’t know it’s not safe to just cut the mold off of bread.
@@rumpeltyltskyn eating the rest of the moldy bread is often not so much an ignorant choice as a need to eat. The non-visible mold "roots" don't taste like mold in my experience. I've never been sick from eating non-moldy bits of moldy bread. Not that I encourage unknown new people to do it, but if a person has not been sick despite eating non-moldy bits, well, more bread for them. If they become immunosupressed or pregnant etc they might want to reconsider. I did once throw up in half an hour after realising the weird taste WAS mold spots, but don't know if it was "just" from the thought or if it was actually my stomach purging a dangerous substance. It was the first time I encountered white bread mold: I inspected thoroughly for familiar blue mold when first bite tasted funny - thought it all was flour on the surface of the bread but in the end there were also white dots that weren't dryly flour-y... After biting into moldy bread I don't buy that particular bread from that brand for a while as the association of mold prevents enjoyment of even the freshest of those breads. Probably takes half a year to feel like eating that bread again; luckily I live in a bread country so there will always be plenty of options!
What is a funky taste? Cream cheese and feta , doesn't sound too weird. Is it a bad taste? Bitter or like it's going bad? I just don't know. Not sure I would eat it.

So are certain types of mold, safe to eat? This is extremely interesting
@@baseballerr11blue cheese is safe and it’s made with mold
@@baseballerr11Yes, some molds are safe, like penicillum mold in blue cheese, or natto mold, but it’s difficult to tell which molds produce bio toxins, so it’s safer to only eat mold that comes from a culture which is guaranteed edible. Please don’t eat random mold!

You were right on all counts. It is a mold, which is a type of fungus. The mycelia are the thread-like structures that constitute the vegetative part of a fungus.

is it actually poisonous? if you are allergic to penicillin will it kill you?

Censored tofu
Lolol I thought it was CGI at first
MY SAME THOUGHT LMAO
I do love how soft and fuzzy they are. "Cute" is right!
Just looks like mouldy to my brain 😂 it tells me 'do not eat."
You'd better sanitize that proofing box VERY thoroughly, or you're going to inoculate every loaf you proof in it from now on.

I'll probably try it this week😁
Report back!

Hope it goes well. I was the most adventurous eater when I was vegetarian.
As with everyone else, report back! I think it's interesting. It for sure has an altered nutried profile from the fungus.
Thank you for this vegan video! I’ve seen videos of hairy tofu before and wondered what it tastes like!

You are a brave woman. I love to cook, but this would intimidate me so much. I'm too paranoid of getting ill.

After biting into moldy bread I don't buy that particular bread from that brand for a while as the association of mold prevents enjoyment of even the freshest of those breads. Probably takes half a year to feel like eating that bread again; luckily I live in a bread country so there will always be plenty of options!
It's kinda hard to look at. It's so fuzzy, my eyes seem to think it's out of focus!
Nice👍🏼
"Mold like" she says about the moldy tofu 😂 brave woman
Whenever I see food that's gone furry like that, I have no desire whatsoever to eat it, fried or otherwise... :P
blue cheese? camembert? Its delicious.
Does it say anywhere what you are using for the innoculant?
Emmy, I love the way you describe food.
What is a funky taste? Cream cheese and feta , doesn't sound too weird. Is it a bad taste? Bitter or like it's going bad? I just don't know. Not sure I would eat it.
Something about when you described the color of the mold as creamy almost got me
Man, you're brave
