Health Benefits of shang hai nan ru
Nutrition of fermented soy
100g of Shanghai nan-ru (red fermented bean curd) has 11g protein, 8g fat and 138 kcal. Made by fermenting tofu with mold and red yeast rice, fermentation breaks soy protein into easily absorbed amino acids and peptides.
Fermentation adds absorbable amino acids
Beyond a condiment, it is key in Cantonese and Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine - nan-ru braised pork trotters, water spinach and chicken wings all gain its salty fermented flavour and appealing red colour.
Small amounts go far
Pungent: use 1-2 pieces (20-40g, about 28-55 kcal) per dish. It adds little to a meal's calories as a seasoning but is high in salt, so reduce salt and soy sauce accordingly.
