What is Mapo Tofu?

It is a Sichuan dish, where the tofu is cooked in spicy broad bean sauce (douban sauce) along with some minced meat and Sichuan Peppercorn (where the numbing sensation comes from).

Mapo Tofu is also translated as “pockmarked grandma’s beancurd”, where it is said that the restaurant who create this dish is located in Chengdu, Sichuan, runs by Pock-Marked Ma herself, the creator of this dish.

This dish was made famous from the television program – Iron Chef, a popular cooking competition in Japan in the 1990s.

There are a few types of tofu, in general, they are categorized by their firmness. In this case, we want the outcome to be silken-smooth tofu but still maintaining its shape after cooking, so soft tofu would be the right choice for this dish. I tried before using silken tofu, turns out they are too soft and tend to break apart during cooking, whereas soft tofu turns out to be just great after cooking.

Important Ingredients

Some of the flavor profile of this tofu dish is hot, spicy, and numbing.

The main ingredients that give this dish its unique flavors come from ;

  • Douban sauce – Fermented Broad Bean Paste, the more common brand that you can find in your local supermarket shelves is Lee Kum Kee brand.

  • Douchi – Fermented black bean, widely used in Chinese cuisine, salty and nutty flavor.
