Mapo tofu is one of the signature dish from Sichuan, China. Silky soft tofu swimming in spicy sauce. Love it, love it, love it!

If you can get whole Sichuan peppercorns and saute them in the oil as the first step it raises the dish to another level... but roasted ground is better than none!
I downloaded the game but I can’t use any of the extra tools that u earn to use for the game it just says to pay for more with coins but I have so many I can use but won’t let me so it needs to be fixed on ur game
I've been making mapo tofu for more than forty years. For more than 20 years I used a recipe I learned from a TV cooking show when I lived in Japan. Not very authentic, but tasty. I've tried many different recipes in the last 15-20 years and the recipe in this video is one of the best - if not the best! Thanks!
@@NinaNina-y8b Here's the recipe I got from a Japanese TV cooking show in 1978. Mabo Tofu (Japanese spelling of mapo) 4 tbsp oil 2 small slices ginger, chopped fine or grated 2 cloves garlic, chopped fine or grated 6 scallions minced 8 oz ground pork 2 tsp doubanjiang 3 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp sherry or mirin 1 1/3 cups chicken stock 1/4 tsp sugar 4 tbsp tomato ketchup 2 tsp corn starch with 4 tbsp water 1 block of tofu cut into small cubes 1 tsp sesame oil Stir fry the first six ingredients. Mix the next seven ingredients in a measuring cup or bowl. Add the liquids to the wok and heat til it comes to a boil. Add the corn starch slurry a little at a time so it doesn't become too thick. Add the tofu and heat through. Remove the wok from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. It's certainly not an authentic Sichuan recipe, but it tastes good!
As a person who growing up in China, I must to say, that look soooo delicious! Mapo Tofo is a traditional family dish, every family have different recipe, but this recipe look sooo good.
I’ve made this recipe 3 times and idk why I never commented. Literally so delicious and a crowd pleaser. It’s hard for me to find silken tofu where I live so I just get the soft one and it works great! Love this recipe!
It was honestly really concerning. We all have our bad days, but this was just a little startling and frankly, ridiculously condescending. "LISTEN," like she's a child.
Thank you ... for this plant based version of Mapo tofu. I’ve been waiting. Can’t wait to try this recipe. I’m a plant based and when I get recipe from you that is vegan I’m happy 😃
My Husband had Mapo Tofu once in college and he loved it. I tried to make it once and well, now we pretend that it never happened, haha. He tried it again recently at a local restaurant and it just wasn't the same as the first time he had it. Maybe one day I will try Seonkykoung's recipe xD
You have no idea how happy i am to find this video again!! I once accidentally bought tofu instead of feta and ended up using your recipe to cook it. Just felt like i'd like to make that same meal again and i was able to find your video again. Now i've saved it into my "food" playlist😁
Ma Po Tofu is one of my favorite dishes but I never add black vinegar or oyster sauce, instead I use chopped fermented black beans. And when buying Doubanjiang, make sure to buy the Pixian style Doubanjiang, not the widely available one from Lee Kum Kee! Before serving I add some chopped cilantro and some sesame oil...
I tried this. But i don't use alcohol because I am muslim. I don't have black vinegar, I replace with rice vinegar. I also don't have chilli oil. But it taste delicious. I am going to make it again. The spicy taste is addictive.
Just so you know, authentic mapo tofu doesn’t use any vinegar. But it’s okay to do what you want/like. Just wanted to mention in case you don’t have it some other time. It’s okay without it.😊
Saw the intro and "Oh i have to find a vegan mince to make this recipe", turns out it is! Love how much plantbased food you incorporate in this channel! You vegan jajangmyeon is still a favourite of mine
My wife and I are vegan and I've been wanting to make her some mapo tofu because she loves spicy foods, I can't wait to make it for her using your video as my guide!
Made this today and it was superb! Very simple ingredients yet flavorful! I just added two tablespoons of sugar to the original recipe since I like my mapo tofu abit sweet. Turned out perfect, thank you for posting this recipe!
Oh my goodness🤗. I don't think there is a more beautiful woman on this planet, and your voice is music to my ears🥰. That dress looks gorgeous on you! Love you Seonkyoung, Jacob and Hanyeol💖💖💖. Please stay healthy and happy🙏. Thank you for the recipe tutorial...I'm making it soon😋.
This was amazing. I totally butchered the silken tofu, but I will get better. The flavor is still there!I used impossible meat and also subbed the peppercorn for some ground black pepper and red chili peppers.
ive been wanting ma po tofu lately and you're my favorite cooking channel so of course i come here to check if you have one and its like you knew i was gonna be in need. truly a goddess
I love your videos. I am from Sichuan, where mapo tofu invented, I want to say: never ever put black vinegar in this dish. Otherwise, your recipe is great!
@@Chayolis If you like the taste of the black vinegar in you tofu dish it’s total fine. But if the vinegar is added , it’s not the authentic way to make Mapo Topu.
which ingredient in this video do u say someone could keep out? i dont have doubanjang nor sizchuan corn or black vinegar. made it yesterday family love it. i used wei lin rice win and tons of chili oil and chili without ginger
I keep repeating myself but on top of making amazing amazing food content for us, I am IN LOVE with your style. That dress is amazing. I am always a little excited to click and see what you're going to wear in your videos and you never disappoint. Thank you for that !
안영 Seongkyung, today October 19, 2020 I tried this recipe (with all its original ingredients). It was freaking freaking awesome. I can proudly that it is one of the recipe that I tried the 1st time and get it right 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 so proud of myself
Last time Jacob support you when you first film your video, and now look at you! You have your own game! Probably he is supporting you business full time. Lots of love ! Do what you love!
I don't know the name of this menu until today. I used to have ramen noodles with this tofu based soup and I love it so much. Probably I should try to make it myself. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for this recipe! Mapo Tofu is one of my favorite dishes of all time. I took a chance and first tried it in a little restaurant in Valdosta, GA of all places and I think it's one of the most perfect ways to showcase silken tofu.
Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe! I love tofu very much and will try to cook it this way. At the end of the video, it's very funny how the dog sticks out its tongue to the right side and holds it for a long time. ))
Excellent video. We are both in our 80's and feel better than ever! Years ago we both REVERSED life-threatening illnesses by switching to a whole-food plant-based diet. We are doing some research for our tiny new healthy-aging advice UA-cam channel. Learned a lot. Thank you!
wow, my wish came true after commenting on a >5 year old video to make a new one for mapo tofu. Thank you. Will make this on the weekend! In Chinese it is spelled: mapo doufu [麻婆豆腐], pronounced like "mapor dough fu"
Looks amazing!! I’m so glad you tried it with a plant based protein. I’m downloading this video so I can make it soon! We are trying to eat a lot less meat.
This is my first time cooking tofu and you gave great tips I didn’t know how gentle I needed to be so I’m thankful I watched your video. I could tell later when I cut the tofu what you meant, & I tried to be so gentle! 😅
I just tried this recipe today and it was a success overall, great flavor. 👍 There are a couple of adjustments that I’d make though. First is the type of tofu. Silken tofu for this is really much too soft. Just regular soft tofu works better and yields better flavor. Also, two cups of stock is a little too much liquid for this recipe. I even used a bit more than 1/2 lbs of pork mince and after incorporating the corn starch mixture, the end result was still too soupy. 😅
You probably could (don’t quote me, but it seems a bit similar; just black vinegar might be a little less pungent). But authentic mapo tofu doesn’t have any vinegar, so you could also just skip it. Sorry; I know I’m 3 years late, but just wanted to mention in case you still wondered.

Idk if you’re local Safeway carrys it but their organic brand has a silken tofu close to the produce section by all their salad dressings!
Wow! Jacob getting angry and snapping at the end was unnecessary. He has an anger problem. @6:55. I'm shocked SK didnt edit it out. I feel sad for SK.
He is so annoying seriously 😳
It was honestly really concerning. We all have our bad days, but this was just a little startling and frankly, ridiculously condescending. "LISTEN," like she's a child.
So that's how he talks to her! what horrible situation she must be in.
She is GORGEOUS. The first seconds of her in the beginning just standing there like the queen she is 😍 also def cooking this tonight!
Pregnancy provides the glow.
@Denna Wait. Are you saying she's not pregnant? Why are you being rude?

Thank you ... for this plant based version of Mapo tofu. I’ve been waiting. Can’t wait to try this recipe. I’m a plant based and when I get recipe from you that is vegan I’m happy 😃
Yeah my favourite plant is the chicken stock tree. Glad she got that in there.
@@robinh1403 lmao
I have an oyster tree in my back yard, it's so nice.
Excited to make this! I just made your Beijing Beef and it turned out great!
Nice!
Hi Sarah!
even your taste in food is excellent omg 😭

Just made this yesterday. Took less than an hour. Surprisingly easy and tasty!

Was the tofu stocked in the same section as cheese? 😂
Even before Seonkyoung said she was going to use plant based meat I had the plan to do that! So yay! It’s already proven to be good!
I was just telling my son about mapo tofu!!! Now I have to make some! Thanks for the recipe!!!!!!!!!!
Yessssss nephew is BACK!
Omg the chaotic energy during the taste test 😂💀💀
Smokey’s gotta be up there and everything.😂

And when buying Doubanjiang, make sure to buy the Pixian style Doubanjiang, not the widely available one from Lee Kum Kee! Before serving I add some chopped cilantro and some sesame oil...
Thanks for this information, I used the Lee Kum Kee, but I will look for Pixian style next time at grocery.
I used to order this in the restaurant everytime! Its freaking good!
SK: In Chinese, I’m not sure. I don’t speak Chinese.
ALSO SK: **says it perfectly in mandarin**
I must be Chinese geniuses 🤣🤣🤣 I love the language ❤
Yeah, perfect Mandarin...except for clearly saying TOU instead of DOU and the tones being completely wrong.
@@High_Priest_Jonko LOL, so true… subscribes anyway! 😆
I tried this. But i don't use alcohol because I am muslim. I don't have black vinegar, I replace with rice vinegar. I also don't have chilli oil. But it taste delicious. I am going to make it again. The spicy taste is addictive.

Wine won't be Haram if it wasn't addictive plus. I can teach u how to make chilli oil 😉

You didn't know that tofu is soybean, which is a plant? How dumb are you younger Millennials and Zoomers nowadays?
My wife and I are vegan and I've been wanting to make her some mapo tofu because she loves spicy foods, I can't wait to make it for her using your video as my guide!
I love the print on your dress and that geometric wok! I really appreciate the aesthetic details.
Made it for the fam and put over ramen noodles. Absolutely amazing meal. Definitely top 10 dishes on the channel and a top 25 new family favorite
Try it with white rice its gonna blow your mind
Made this today and it was superb! Very simple ingredients yet flavorful! I just added two tablespoons of sugar to the original recipe since I like my mapo tofu abit sweet. Turned out perfect, thank you for posting this recipe!
Would you consider doing a video on your cooking tools/item essentials?
I’m not the biggest tofu fan, but when I discovered mapo tofu I was hooked on that sauce! I’m excited to try this and swap tofu for shrimp!

I have been following you for 5 years now.Mapo tofu is my everyday dish.Your recipe is great.
The szechuan pepper corn is aan absolute must... it complements the heat from the pepper so well.
This was amazing. I totally butchered the silken tofu, but I will get better. The flavor is still there!I used impossible meat and also subbed the peppercorn for some ground black pepper and red chili peppers.
I've never seen it before, but it's such a charming cooking channel.
It is 😊
Miss you actively cooking while talking, regardless, happy to have a new recipe!

I wish the menu stayed on my table!
I want to eat it too!!
I love your videos. I am from Sichuan, where mapo tofu invented, I want to say: never ever put black vinegar in this dish. Otherwise, your recipe is great!
Why you don't put black vinegar?
Thanks for the tips. You saved me the trouble of finding such weird vinegar.
@@Chayolis If you like the taste of the black vinegar in you tofu dish it’s total fine. But if the vinegar is added , it’s not the authentic way to make Mapo Topu.
Black vinegar is delicious. But should not go in mapo tofu.
@@avarmauk what if i put aubergine in with it? And black vinegar?
This is my favorite dish in the whole world. It used to be Ojingo Bokum but the szechuan peppercorns won me over.
I’ve been waiting for this!! So excited!!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I made it and it’s soooo good!❤
Just tried this recipe tonight after finally gathering all the ingredients. Gave this video and channel a shout out on my Instagram! Great work

I'm eating the mapo tofu now ❤ made it a couple of times and it's delicious thank you!
Made this with Mushrooms and white pepper instead of Sichuan peppercorns and it was delicious!
You really should use the peppercorns... it's so good!
Yorokobe shounen
I made this and my son liked it better than the package sauce, (I omitted the Sichuan peppers, corn starch and broth) thanks for another great recipe.
It’s one of the best Japanese foods you will ever eat.
I just tried this recipe today and it was a success overall, great flavor. 👍 There are a couple of adjustments that I’d make though. First is the type of tofu. Silken tofu for this is really much too soft. Just regular soft tofu works better and yields better flavor. Also, two cups of stock is a little too much liquid for this recipe. I even used a bit more than 1/2 lbs of pork mince and after incorporating the corn starch mixture, the end result was still too soupy. 😅
I made this last night and it turned out amazing!
Can’t wait to try this!! Looks so very yummy!! Thank You Seonkyoung!! 💕❤️🙏
It does look yummy indeed 😋
Waaw it was really delicious .... Thank you so much 😋
I tried this mapo tofu last night, so delicious!
Im so excited for this recipe! Just the other day I made like three of your dishes in one day and they all were so delicious
This looks so yummy. I’ve always enjoyed your videos and recipes from your channel. Can I substitute black vinegar with balsamic vinegar?
You probably could (don’t quote me, but it seems a bit similar; just black vinegar might be a little less pungent). But authentic mapo tofu doesn’t have any vinegar, so you could also just skip it.
Sorry; I know I’m 3 years late, but just wanted to mention in case you still wondered.
Tried this today! I really liked it sooo yummy😀😍😋😋😋
Always wanted to make this ever since i first watched angel beats
My favorite recipe! Love it ❤️
