I disagree…the smell is NOT gone after it is fried. The flavor was good but I could not get past the smell which hits you repeatedly as you eat it.__

Here's a couple examples of what stinky tofu really looks like: http://http.cdnlayer.com/smoola/00/00/5d/e2bf8b3b... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZZjAGUiUNM/R1AMBg6q-WI... As you can see there are two types of stinky tofu: the fried kind and the stewed kind. The fried kind are obviously fried and commonly served alongside a kimchi product (pickled veggies) and either drizzled with soy sauce/paste or provided with it for dipping. Stewed tofu, is when the tofu is cooked in a (spicy) sauce, or more often in a (spicy) soup, many times with other ingredients like vegtables, and duck's blood.... Both are tasty, and while fried stinky tofu was more popular when I was a kid, these days the stewed version is more popular.

I remember watching a segment of Amazing Race Asia (a version of Amazing Race that takes place across Asia) that took place in Taiwan. One of the challenges was to eat a bowl of stewed stinky tofu. Not a simgle person could get through their bowl. Several people threw up. Now, the bowls were pretty big ones- like a whole meal really, so I think they could have down sized it a bit- maybe just three or four pieces of tofu; but it is very entertaining to me that a dish I enjoy was so unpalatable to them. I guess they were focusing too much on the smell.
