Dirty kitchen

Last updated

In the Philippines, a dirty kitchen refers to an outdoor, often additional, kitchen. It is made either separate from or adjoining the "main house" as an annex, with the reasons for its separation including fire safety and isolating from the main rooms the odor of raw seafood or meat being prepared as well as the smell of spices and certain condiments for such pungent dishes as the sisig . The annex also keeps out smoke, fuel smell, charcoal dust, oil splashes and grime, and, just as significantly, kitchen ants. As a house feature in a hot country, the dirty kitchen also keeps the heat from the cooking activity itself out of the house's main area. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Apart from its main application, the dirty kitchen also often doubles as an ideal space for additional washing of clothes, due to its proximity to the outdoors. [4] [6]

Stinky tofu is a Chinese form of fermented tofu that has a strong odor. It is usually sold at night markets or roadside stands as a snack, or in lunch bars as a side dish, rather than in restaurants. Traditionally the dish is fermented in a brine with vegetables and meat, sometimes for months. Modern factory-produced stinky tofu is marinated in brine for one or two days to add odor. Generally speaking, stinky tofu is mainly made of tofu. After fermentation of edible mold, tofu can produce a large number of B vitamins, a variety of minerals and trace elements. The flavor of stinky tofu is better. Due to the addition of some seasoning, it can stimulate the appetite to a certain extent. Moderate intake of stinky tofu can play a role in increasing appetite, enhancing human immunity, and supplementing nutrition. Although eating stinky tofu appropriately has certain benefits, you can't eat too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive. If you often eat a lot of stinky tofu, there may be digestive discomfort. Stinky tofu may produce a certain amount of microorganisms in the process of fermentation. After entering the human intestine, it will break the balance of the intestinal flora in the intestine, resulting in indigestion.
