    I followed your recipe and used ground beef. I am not a pork eater so it’s nice to see you using beef, since I know many Chinese dishes use pork. I will admit that I put a tablespoon of oyster sauce in it, just because. I love mapo tofu SOOOO much and your recipe definitely is delicious. I think it is very important in this recipe that the sauce be very full-bodied and packed with umami. Otherwise, a thin flavored sauce won’t work with plain rice (as I’ve learned from making it in the past with various recipes).

    I recently adopted a vegetarian diet but mapo tofu is one of my all time favorite dishes! I looooove the idea of making it with mushrooms and will have to try that!!

    Ground pork is the best thing in mapo tofu. Unless you don’t eat pork please use it. I’ve made it with both ground beef and ground pork and pork is superior. I also think that what a lot of the restaurant use.

      Honestly you don’t even have to add the tofu. Of course people might say that’s heresy of the highest order or something it’s your food. I’m not a fan of tofu either but my Asian dad has made multiple times and it’s really good. I do eat around the tofu tho. Or just only out a little bit in.

    Why did you start cooking with sesame oil? It has a very low flash point and should only be used to finish of dishes. Unless sesame oil is totally different in America?

    • @nv2332
      @nv2332 Рік тому +1

      I guess it could be differently processed to have higher smoke point? Idk.

    • @toxiclunch
      @toxiclunch Рік тому +1

      Smoked flavor is a staple in American dishes so it’s probably intentional.

    • @Bkgksan625

      I might be wrong. But i think there are 2 types of sesame oil.
      One is the probably most famous, which is the toasted sesame oil.
      The other is raw pressed sesame oil which i believe it can handle heat better.
