Bun Dau Mam Tom is a gourmet Vietnamese fried tofu specialty for many reasons. Frying perfect tofu isn’t child’s play. Dau Homemade makes its tofu in-house because it is practically impossible to acquire so it is suitable for the dish. It is traditionally made in Mo village, 20 km from Hanoi’s mesmerising Old Quarter.
The oil’s temperature must be stays between 70°C and 100°C.The resultant masterpiece is pleasingly crispy yet both sweet and fluffy inside. Fragrant herbs and vegetables such as Vietnamese balm, perilla and cucumber—essential pairings that balance well with the fried tofu—are grown at a select farm in Lam Dong province.
The star of the show, Mam Tom, or Vietnamese fermented shrimp paste, is an extremely savoury dipping paste that has been considered the blue cheese of Vietnam, meaning it is an acquired taste.
Shrimp paste is made from mainly shrimp and salt. They mix shrimps that have been well cleaned with salt with a proportion of 30% salt and 70% shrimps. Shrimps and salt is placed layer by layer in pottery jars. These jars will then be placed under sunshine and well covered so that rain water cannot absorb in. The fermentation process will take a few months resulting a brownish grey rich liquid that has a very special smell
