Here is a recipe that is easy on the wallet and super delicious! Happy Sunday! 💕

[@ssvlogs7392]

Happy happy Monday 🌹🌹

[@artistlovepeace]

I remember the first time I ate Mapo Tofu. Yum.

[@janettemasiello5560]

Just today , I was trying to think of a recipe for tofu that wasn't fried tofu fingers - which I love anyway this fits the bill perfectly ! Thanks 🤗

[@annn8389]

Flo and Dude, all I can honestly say is that Sunday is not complete without your new recipe! Thank you!

[@deltas4114]

Woo hoo, I keep looking at a package of ground pork in my freezer, now I know what I'll make with it. Thank you, and wishing your family a blessed week.🙏❤🙏❤🙏

[@michaelgutman4910]

My Mrs wants me to make a tofu dish, but the kids don't like it. I can serve them the meat and serve the tofu to my wife and myself. Perfect.

[@Hrairoo555]

One of the current fusion foods I've heard about is MaPo Tater Tots. Basically mapo tofu served on top of tater tots! Maybe that will win the kids over 😄. I just bought the ingredients to try it.

[@andersonomo597]

When our daughter was little, we had a rule that she had to at least TRY a couple of mouthfuls, not just once but each time we made the food that she was balking at. "You don't have to eat it, but you do have to try it" was the mantra. Now 27, she said she was grateful we did that because she knows several picky eaters and she reckons they're a PAIN to deal with!

[@magical11]

Mapo tofu is a great introduction tofu dish. The sauce masks any tofu flavour.

[@GradeBmoviefan]

Oh my gosh girl. This dish looks like a total winner all around! A large amount for a small amount of money! And it looks delicious and versatile. Excellent job. And Dude…excellent job with the follow up comments! Thank You both. ~Sharon from Florida

[@artistlovepeace]

Thank you for being honest!

[@walterstrahota2956]

I made this today. Loved it!

[@walterstrahota2956]

Thank you for this recipe. I’ve been thinking about making it.

[@sharonoldham4374]

Thank you for continuing to give us delicious money saving recipes 😋

[@jaywhy2016]

Funny that I just brought a plate last week at the local Chinese restaurant. Cost me almost $20CAD 😳. I love Mapo Tofu since I was a kid. I never knew it was so simple to make

[@andersonomo597]

$20! Goose and golden egg comes to mind! It's similar here in Sydney Australia - eating out, even at 'cheap and cheerfuls', is getting so expensive. For $20, two of us can have a nice steak each!

[@susiel374]

Thanks, Flo! Love this dish and was looking for the recipe to make at home to save some $. 🙏

[@HazelJhonadventures]

thank you for this recipe .

[@LiveFree123]

Always good food ideas ❤

[@edgarisaguirre7313]

Hello and Happy Sunday to the both of you. Another great dish to try. Looks good. Thanks again.

[@julesn7247]

Hey Flo, made your Mapo Tofu today. Easy and delis!! Thank you!!

[@rebeccarhoten8591]

I can’t wait to try this one!!!!!

[@jimmyfong9420]

Thanks Flo for reminding me how delsih this dish is and it's relatively cheap like you said

[@LRE888]

Adding the peas what a great idea ! Thanks Flo 😘

[@martharamirez1389]

My Family and I loved it gana b a new Staple for us Thanks for this easy to follow recipe 🥰

[@jonesbub1]

Another great recipe, Flo! Thanks for always considering how many folks are experiencing rough times. You guys are the best! TFS and Happy Sunday! Sharon🤗

[@VictorG930]

Nice and easy , love the ground pork idea , not a lover of tofu, but will substitute with some pasta , thanks for the idea you and family have a great week and stay safe 🙏

[@mollysmith6055]

This is my son's favorite dish! He'll often order it when we go out to eat but he always says he can make it better at home. Yummy! And ps...the Instant Pot Chicken Congee was perfect for my sore mouth today, thank you!

[@michaelcorkery7108]

I always enjoy your videos. I need to improve my stir fry. And I always enjoy when Dude does "The Taste". God bless you and your family.

[@merrycris5955]

I tried this recepie so good the taste,even without peas.😋❤

[@brendacrabbe-jones7354]

I always wanted to know how to make the sauce for this dish! A favorite food!!! love it Mahalo Flo and Dude!!

[@mahina7435]

I love mabo tofu. Thank you for showing me how to make it from scratch

[@gabbyofmilton]

By the way I love your uTube blog & your recipes.

[@cmaur811]

Looks tasty

[@nallya9018]

Looks good! I have ground bean sauce. Is that similar to Is broad bean paste?

[@myrna5540]

Hi Flo, Dude, followers. That looks good. Have a great day

[@ushadelesio7259]

Thanks for the substitute ingredients such as ground chicken or turkey.

[@corrinejacobson9232]

I made this and was not impressed with the tofu. But I let it sit in the refrigerator and was astonished how great the tofu tasted. So now I make it and let it sit in the refrigerator so the tofu picks up the taste, It is so good!!

[@francisKngz]

Thank you! We made it right away since we happened to have all the ingredients handy. Delicious. Another great recipe/video. We had frozen peas and carrots mixed together so we used those. Made it a little more colorful. For those that don't enjoy peeling ginger try using the edge of a plain old teaspoon in place of a peeler. Takes the skin right off without accidentally taking any of your skin off.

[@mariae9584]

I Love Mapo Tofu! I can't wait to try this recipe...just need to pick up a few groceries item tomorrow. Btw, I have loved every recipe I tried from you. Last night I made your Vietnamese Beef stew with rice noodles. So Yummy! and my husband and young daughters ages 10 and 8 loved it too. Thank you Flo and Dude!

[@almaparedes6548]

I like it 😋😋

[@BeeBee-nx9zi]

Thank you for recipe! It looks delicious 😋 👍

[@achristianbatalla3824]

Love this, I'll probably add some tomato sauce when I try this but this one looks so delicious already. By the way, that Taiwanese Beef Recipe is fantastic. Thanks Flo!

[@cynajoy433]

Will be making a trip to my local Asian grocery for some broadbean paste 🇨🇦

[@doc9526]

Your teaspoon and tablespoon measurements crack me up.

[@tonyn152]

Looks really good, although we don't like tofu. I wonder if omitting the tofu and serving it over rice or noodles would be good? Adding some mushrooms perhaps?

[@michaelcoghill6787]

What else can you add to this dish to replace the tofo ??

[@mike97525]

Hay dude don't feel bad I can't remember what I ate yesterday😋😋

[@CambodianGeographic]

Try adding some ground black pepper at the end next time. It will be a whole different nice flavor.

[@devingriffin6166]

Can you recommend a store to get the broad bean paste ?

[@magical11]

Any asian store will have it. There are only so many brands and they're all about the same.

[@musemuser777]

Dude is based!😎💯👍

[@dchz8939]

Thank you guys for bringing simple, delicious dishes to my family. I loved your videos and even more so now that I discovered you are fellow Canadians 😊

[@gabbyofmilton]

This may sound like a stupid question, but how do you keep your smoke detector from going off. You are always heating your wok up after it is smoking and smoking even more when you add the oil.

[@judithgrantham7742]

How would I find non-spicy broad bean paste? Brand? Are there chiles in it?

[@FloLum]

I found it in an Asian market. There was regular and spicy. Regular does not have chilies in it.

[@judithgrantham7742]

@@FloLum thank you.

[@sj-art]

Have you ever seen any gluten free broad bean paste?

[@melissasmalls5005]

I don’t eat pork . Could I use ground beef?

[@laurencenicollas9780]

is that my cat or yours I can hear? 😂 every time I look around my room …

[@FloLum]

🤣 I was also looking around for the cats when I was reviewing the video.

[@eishunken]

I guess this is Cantonese style mapo tofu?

[@wm6549]

Instead of cheap, maybe use the word inexpensive

[@janonthemtn]

I wish you didn't cut your hair off...
