 This mapo tofu recipe (麻婆豆腐) is the authentic real deal—the spicy, tongue-numbing, rice-is-absolutely-not-optional, can’t-have-just-one-scoop mapo tofu that you get in the restaurants.

Mapo Tofu

WHAT IS MAPO TOFU?

Mapo Tofu is a popular Chinese dish from Sichuan Province and Chongqing (Municipalities), where spicy food are king and the signature spice of the region––the Sichuan Peppercorn––gives dishes a unique “numbing” effect.

The name of the dish roughly translates to “pockmarked grandma’s tofu.” The dish has taken on many forms as restaurants. Today, I would like to share my own homemade recipe.
