Mapo Tofu is perhaps one of the most popular recipes from Sichuan province in China. It certainly is one of our favourites. The Sichuan chili bean paste (dòubàn jiàng, douban jiang, toban jang, etc.) and the sichuan peppers give this dish it's unique flavour which you do not often find in other dishes around the world. But beware, this dish can be pretty spicy! This dish is often served with pork or beef, but can be just as good if you make it vegetarian. Want to add some meat? Pan-fry 50 gram minced meat until crispy and add this to the dish with the tofu.
