fermented tofu
Aged soybean cheese
Fermented tofu is a Chinese preserved food made by curing tofu in brine with rice wine and sometimes chili or sesame oil.

It's used as a condiment or seasoning: a little fermented tofu with congee.
Also called bean curd cheese, tofu cheese, or by its Chinese name, furu.
