Vegan Mapo Tofu Recipe (麻婆豆腐)

[@alcyonae]

“If you can make a dish taste just as good, while being cheaper, better for the environment, and better for you, why not?” if that’s not the best selling point of plant-based cooking, I don’t know what is. Instant sub!

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks, and welcome to the channel. I’m not all plant based, but I’m always experimenting to try and find new ways to veganize classic dishes in a way that meat-eaters won’t miss the meat.

[@alcyonae]

No Recipes That’s exactly what I like about it :) One doesn’t have to go full vegan to enjoy its benefits - or gifting them to the world. Presenting these alternatives to an audience that wouldn’t otherwise come across it is an easy-going way to make the world a better place, one meal at a time.

[@NoRecipes]

😊 My thoughts exactly!

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Riss! I spend a lot of time developing recipes to make sure they’re the best they can be, but it’s especially the case for plant-based recipes since I want these to be dishes that meat-eaters can easily substitute into their regular rotation and not feel like it’s missing something. I do try and publish one plant-based recipe a month though and you can find a much larger collection of vegan-friendly recipes on my website norecipes.com/diet/vegan/ . Also, I try and provide plant-based substitutes for recipes when possible.

Thanks for the feedback! It bugs me when people make substitutions without any rhyme or reason, so I try and be thoughtful whenever I'm developing something new😀If you're in the US, high end supermarkets(like Whole Foods) usually carry all of these mushrooms. Eryngi's are sometimes called King Trumpet Mushrooms, and Maitaike are sometimes called Hen of the Woods.

Thank you for a delicious vegan dish. Mapo tofu has always been a great dish to veganize. More vegan dishes, please.

[@NoRecipes]

You're welcome! My rule with vegan dishes is that I'll post one if I think it's just as good or better than the meat-based original. It takes quite a few tries to get a recipe up to that point, which is why they don't get posted that often. If you head over to my website, I have 127 recipes there now.

[@erinuber2881]

Hi Marc! This looks amazing! I'm looking forward to more vegan and vegetarian recipes in the future. At my local Japanese restaurant, they are very kind to me. They know I have some difficulty eating, and they will make a different version of oyako donburi for me. Of course, it's no longer oyako donburi when I change it, but I ask them to use tofu instead of the chicken, and add a few mushrooms if possible. They still use the eggs and otherwise, it is the same. It is so good! I think it would be possible to make a vegetarian version using konbu dashi. Anyway, thanks again for the video - sending good wishes your way at the New Year!

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Erin, I do a vegan "oyakodon" with kurumafu (wheat gluten) and silken tofu in place of the egg. I think I may do a video for it! Thanks for the inspiration!

Just note if you don't have doubanjiang, in a pinch you use red miso + cayenne pepper powder + soy sauce, it's 80% similar. And if you're Indonesian, in a pinch...tempeh + chili powder + soy sauce (salty) mix is 75% similar.

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks for sharing your suggestions! I've used jarred sambal oelek as a substitute as well.

[@leeleesale]

@@NoRecipes the problem with sambal oelek is it lacking the fermented bean taste from doubanjiang....🤔🤔 maybe mixing sambal with tempeh might work, I guess I'm having mapo tofu tomorrow for dinner. But the idea using sambal oelek is great 👍

[@NoRecipes]

@@leeleesale The jarred stuff I used to get in the US was preserved with salt so it kind of had a fermented taste. I think that + miso would be pretty close to the real thing.

[@satoshiketchump]

This is the best and closest to authentic vegetarian mapo tofu recipe I've seen on youtube. Shiitake and all the other mushrooms which you've shown are not easily available in my country as the most popular ones are white buttons and oyster. I do have dried oyster mushrooms too but the taste is very odd and not remotely as good as the dried shiitake I've had in hotpots. I'll used ground soy nuggets in the mixture and see how it goes. Mapo tofu is my favorite way of eating tofu we've limited or meat consumption during this lockdown.

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Satoshiketchump! Oyster mushrooms don't have a lot of flavor, so they're best for adding texture. If you want a flavorful mushroom, look for ones like porcini, maitake, or shiitake.

[@liuzhou]

@@NoRecipes Eryngi are a type of oyster mushroom.

[@NoRecipes]

@@liuzhou Yep, and they don't have much flavor. They are added for texture. The Shiitakes and Maitakes in this blend are where the flavor comes from, so if you want to sub those, you need to use a mushroom that has more flavor.

Vegan versions are really appreciated! Your knife skills are top notch. Please share a link for your go to knife. Thanks!

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks ViVi! I use Japanese knives from a small shop in Tokyo and they're all made by different knife makers. Japanese knives are great if you can take care of them. They grind them at a shallower angle than western knives, so the blades won't hold their edge as long and are prone to chipping if you mishandle them, but that means they tend to be much sharper than Western knives. Kaijirushi is probably the most widely available Japanese knife maker, but their blades are all stamped, not forged.

[@PeaceLoveAndRico]

It's so draining to go shopping these days. I made faux ma po. Lol miso, duck sauce, red chili flakes, schezuan peppercorns and sriracha and it hit the spot, surprisingly! I used tvpbecause its fast cheap and easy...

Just yesterday, Impossible Foods announced they were going to begin selling a ground pork. So the timing of this recipe seems kismet almost :) Does Japan have any of the Impossible beef in the grocery or restaurants? I know they are making the pork with Asia in mind. I was able to try the Impossible Whopper, and though there is a slight taste difference, it was still really delicious! How do you feel about things like Impossible or Beyond meats? Have you tried any? I hope their products will lower in cost in time. I would buy Impossible beef over regular if it was about the same price. I thought it was that good :)

[@NoRecipes]

Hi O'Dessa, we don't have any plant-based meat 2.0 companies available in Japan right now, but we do have a lot of companies doing TVP, so I suspect it's only a matter of time. Veganism is picking up in popularity but it doesn't have the same growth trajectory as in other countries. I think this is due to the fact that Japanese don't eat a ton of meat to begin with (Japan eats less than 40% the amount of meat per capita as the US, and 15-20% less than our other East Asian neighbors). As for for my thoughts on plant-based meat 2.0 companies (like Beyond and Impossible), I don't think it's a zero sum game. They make tasty products that I think there will be growing demand for, and they're also a stop-gap for meat-eaters until cultured meat companies like Memphis Meats and JUST bring down the price of manufacturing their meat. Bottom line, we're not bringing cows and pigs to Mars (and beyond), so these products are going to be necessary regardless of your views on climate change, animal welfare and diet.

[@Dessamator]

@@NoRecipes I agree with you. I really am welcoming to the idea of meatless meats. If the experience with the food in question is close enough, then it feels to me like I'm not missing something. The flavors. The sensation as you bite and chew. As I try to eat more slowly to appreciate my food and to try to eat less overall, these are things I felt have become important. Even with non meat items like pasta or rice, or even veggies... I can't really want to eat something if it feels like litteral mush mouth situation going on. I want the Earth to be in better shape. I want there to be less need for the lengths farms go to to keep up with demands for meat. I think products like these will help more people the world over embrace the change. Even if they don't understand the need for change. Thank you for your thoughtful and informative response :)
