Mapo tofu is one of the signature dish from Sichuan, China. Silky soft tofu swimming in spicy sauce. Love it, love it, love it!

[@annlee7816]

Yes,that’s true and in Chinese is pronounced Mapo tofu

[@julzamidala2865]

If you can get whole Sichuan peppercorns and saute them in the oil as the first step it raises the dish to another level... but roasted ground is better than none!

I've been making mapo tofu for more than forty years. For more than 20 years I used a recipe I learned from a TV cooking show when I lived in Japan. Not very authentic, but tasty. I've tried many different recipes in the last 15-20 years and the recipe in this video is one of the best - if not the best! Thanks!

[@NinaNina-y8b]

Can you share the recipe please

[@jepolch]

@@NinaNina-y8b Here's the recipe I got from a Japanese TV cooking show in 1978. Mabo Tofu (Japanese spelling of mapo) 4 tbsp oil 2 small slices ginger, chopped fine or grated 2 cloves garlic, chopped fine or grated 6 scallions minced 8 oz ground pork 2 tsp doubanjiang 3 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp sherry or mirin 1 1/3 cups chicken stock 1/4 tsp sugar 4 tbsp tomato ketchup 2 tsp corn starch with 4 tbsp water 1 block of tofu cut into small cubes 1 tsp sesame oil Stir fry the first six ingredients. Mix the next seven ingredients in a measuring cup or bowl. Add the liquids to the wok and heat til it comes to a boil. Add the corn starch slurry a little at a time so it doesn't become too thick. Add the tofu and heat through. Remove the wok from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. It's certainly not an authentic Sichuan recipe, but it tastes good!

[@aprilfu4598]

As a person who growing up in China, I must to say, that look soooo delicious! Mapo Tofo is a traditional family dish, every family have different recipe, but this recipe look sooo good.

[@hannaduong8299]

I’ve made this recipe 3 times and idk why I never commented. Literally so delicious and a crowd pleaser. It’s hard for me to find silken tofu where I live so I just get the soft one and it works great! Love this recipe!

Ma Po Tofu is one of my favorite dishes but I never add black vinegar or oyster sauce, instead I use chopped fermented black beans. And when buying Doubanjiang, make sure to buy the Pixian style Doubanjiang, not the widely available one from Lee Kum Kee! Before serving I add some chopped cilantro and some sesame oil...

[@shannonrobinson262]

You can adjust the amount of broad bean chili sauce, Szechwan pepper an leave out the 🌶 to adjust the heat level. I started off making mayo tofu with half the spice and double the tofu. It was still delicious. I’ve worked up to the proper amounts now. I’ve never seen recipe with black vinegar though. I’ve seen with and without black beans. Good each way.

[@theredheadrevolution4156]

I'm just gonna throw out a guess as to which anime it was. Ahem... YOROKOBE, SHOUNEN.

[@susiecakes-v5v]

I just tried this recipe today and it was a success overall, great flavor. 👍 There are a couple of adjustments that I’d make though. First is the type of tofu. Silken tofu for this is really much too soft. Just regular soft tofu works better and yields better flavor. Also, two cups of stock is a little too much liquid for this recipe. I even used a bit more than 1/2 lbs of pork mince and after incorporating the corn starch mixture, the end result was still too soupy. 😅

You probably could (don’t quote me, but it seems a bit similar; just black vinegar might be a little less pungent). But authentic mapo tofu doesn’t have any vinegar, so you could also just skip it. Sorry; I know I’m 3 years late, but just wanted to mention in case you still wondered.
