It's fermented bean curd (tofu), sometimes called bean curd cheese.
Comes in small jars or cans in a few different forms. Fermented by
itself, fermented with chili, or with rice wine and salt. I get the
second form but don't happen to have any right now so I can't describe
the jar's label for you. Ask for spicy fermented dow fu. -aem
