    If you keep some chili oil and peppers in your pantry it's a great dish to make when you have to use up leftovers. Old tofu, whatever aromatics you have (onion, scallion, garlic, ginger, peppers, bell peppers) and whatever meat you have. You can substitute mushrooms for beef. Maybe not authentic but it's tasty..

    • @DoubleADwarf
      @DoubleADwarf 3 місяці тому +2

      I usually add Bok Choy and the scallion-whites to it while it cooks - not authentic by any means but I figure a bit of fiber never hurt anyone. I'll also mix some MSG into the salt and pepper I put into the meat (usually pork). I figure it's equal parts "haiyaa" and "fuiyoh."

    • @PhatTrumpet2
      @PhatTrumpet2 3 місяці тому +2

      Can vouch for subbing in mushrooms for the meat. A restaurant I worked for did just that. Makes the dish vegan without sacrificing hardly any flavor/texture.

  • @cinnabun-ysera

    I've always preferred my mapo tofu with soft (kinu) tofu. The 2-minute blanch makes it stand up to gentle stirring and take on flavors better, and it just has a superior texture over firm tofu.

    Instead of Scallion, you can also try Garlic Sprouts 蒜苗. These are very commonly used in Chengdu and if I remember right, this is the way they served it when I had it at Chen's Mapo Tofu restaurant. Also, theirs was a little broken and crumbly which tasted great. There are also versions using soft tofu that are quite common. I'm glad you added the pickled chilies, because this is one of the most important ingredients for Sichuan cooking that's often overlooked. As for the Anime, I wonder if it's supposed to be Sichuan mapo tofu or Japanese mapo tofu. The flavors are completely different.

    Outside the Anime-fandom: This is an example that I will point to righteously whenever someone mentions hating Tofu because it's vegetarian/vegan. Tofu is its own entity and can be used very well when you don't try to pretend it's a meat product. I'm a proud omnivore, but I get so frustrated when people write tofu off for being "gross" when they've only tried it in dishes that use it as a meat-substitute. Tofu is great, thank you for the recipe dish, the time, a peak into your personal traditions, and the culture.

    The mapotofu curry...... your mind is incredible, I've never thought to do that with leftover mapotofu!!!! Definetly trying that the next time I make it. Could be sooner than I thought, I'm getting pretty hungry watching this... 👀

    In all the mapo tofu dishes I've had the tofu had been broken down into small pieces barely recognizable as tofu. I like the look of Alvins.

    I made it step for step and it turned out a bit soupy, but I actually prefer it like that. Thanks for the inspiration

    That buzzing/tingling/water tastes funny now sensation you get from Szechuan peppercorns is called "Ma La" and as I understand it, is a central point of that region's cooking!

    I call this "sichuanese chili" and it fills that same culinary niche. Rich, hearty, full of flavour, dangerously spicy and savoury. I've seen it made with less meat (and I'd argue less is more in this case, I've tried it both ways) and with silken tofu (I prefer the firm)

    I was never really a big fan of tofu, but after watching this video, I think I want to try a bowl of those Mapo Curry Noodles. It looks pretty tasty.

    I remember in the English dub of Iron Chef that, whenever Chen Kenichi, the Chinese Iron Chef, made mapo tofu, they dubbed it to seem like it was the hottest dish in the world! Maybe it is, since Bakugo loves it!

    I have watched a ton of Mapo Tofu vids and every one of them say something different for the Tofu, but every one of them is also very insistent that "you must use..." Silken, soft , firm and everything between. Personally I do like the silken, or at least soft.
