Phong Kee HK Style Red Bean Curd Peanuts (南乳花生) — 198g

A true Cantonese classic. Phong Kee (豐記) HK Style Red Bean Curd Peanuts are whole roasted peanuts seasoned with 南乳 (nám yú) — fermented red bean curd, one of the most distinctive and beloved flavors in Cantonese cooking. The result is a deeply savory, subtly funky, umami-rich coating with a warm reddish hue — bold, complex, and unmistakably Hong Kong. A flavor that diaspora families recognize immediately and non-Chinese snackers find surprisingly addictive. Made in the USA. 198g per bag.

What Is 南乳 (Nám Yú / Red Bean Curd)?

南乳 (nám yú, literally “southern fermented tofu”) is a type of fermented red bean curd — soft tofu that has been cured in rice wine, red yeast rice, and spices, giving it a deep brick-red color, a rich savory flavor, and a distinctive fermented aroma. It’s a cornerstone ingredient in Cantonese cooking, used in roasted meats (most famously char siu and roasted pork belly), stir-fries, and — as here — as a bold seasoning for roasted nuts. The flavor is savory, slightly sweet, mildly funky, and deeply umami — unlike anything in Western snack culture.
