I have never tried this cooking method of cooking tofu, I had to change it due to limited rural grocery options, but the braising and spice was so good. Everyone loved it!

Excellent! Since I’m a vegan I substituted 1/2 cup of TVP for the meat. Just soak TVP in boiling water for 5 minutes then drain and remove as much water and just continue with recipe.

Having it twice in a week is the best compliment!

Thank you so much, Brian! I truly appreciate your kind words, especially given your long experience with Chinese cooking. I’m glad you enjoyed this Mapo Tofu recipe.

I have been cooking mainly Chinese food for almost 40 years, and interest gained from my early years. Many of my recipes are from authentic Chinese sources but I have fund Redhousespice recipes clear with great insights on method, options & clarity quite apart from the results. A recent example is the authentic Mapo Tofu recently submitted.
Thanks Wei.

Hi Wei,
I have cooked a number of Mapo Tofu recipes over the years but your authentic version is the best one yet . So much so that we have had it twice this week.
Thanks
Brian

In reply to Wei Guo.

I also had dental surgery, although I have made Mapo Tofu on several occasions. This recipe tastes very authentic, but has more heat than I like. Very delicious!
