Prepare a small colander and clean corn leaves.
Cut the tofu into small pieces, placing them evenly on the corn leaves with gaps between them.
Cover with another layer of clean corn leaves. Place in a cool, well-ventilated place to let it naturally mold and change color.When the tofu has a sticky, slightly red mucous, this process takes about ten days. After five days, observe carefully.

The molding process takes about ten days, observe after five days; you can see the tofu has a sticky, slightly red mucous. Mantou alcohol helps the tofu better absorb flavors. I used 52-degree alcohol. Any alcohol above 42 degrees works.
Dip the fermented tofu in rice wine, then coat it with chili powder and salt as shown in the picture.
3. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the tofu with this mixture.
6. Then, using a sterilized glass jar without any water or oil, pack the tofu tightly layer by layer until full. Seal the jar and let it sit for seven days before consumption.
Tip:
Remember to choose fresh, high-quality northern tofu. The fermentation process takes about ten days; starting from day five, begin checking for a slightly sticky, slightly reddish liquid on the tofu. Dipping in rice wine helps the tofu absorb flavors better. I used 52 proof. Any above 42 proof can be used.
