Which is why good cooks like it--they can control what flavors it takes on. And they can be exotic flavors if that's the mood you're in. I posted this a while ago: 1 lb. young spinach, washed and sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1.5 teaspoons fu yu (fermented tofu, aka bean curd cheese)

Heat oil, or oil and lard, in wok or heavy pan. When hot, stir in
garlic and tofu until mixed. Add spinach and stirfry over high heat
about 1.5 minutes. Sprinkle with pinches of salt and sugar. Continue
to stirfry until done, another 30 - 60 seconds. (Note: 1 lb. of
fresh spinach looks like a lot but cooks way down. The fu yu is very
strong; most people will find 1.5 teaspoons plenty.) -aem
