After a day of teaching spoken English last week I still had a lot of energy and an intense hunger, so I decided to hit up my local wet market. It was late afternoon and the sun was already beginning to set, many of the vendors had packed up and gone home. The ground was littered with vegetable debris – empty soy bean pods, excess lotus stalks, rotten chiles etc. Then I saw that a tofu seller was still in business, which is odd because they always seem to be the first ones to leave. So I quickly decided on tofu for dinner. Here is the tofu vendor, with my bag on the left. The brown tofu on the right is Hunan smoked and pressed tofu (香干), another story altogether.
