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'm so happy you said mushroom!! At first I was like aw man. Lol

[Bunnisattva]

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

[nathanmom]

I tried this recipe and it is delicous! 10/10

[JM-onxy]

Big up to this guy for mentioning mushrooms - so many people overlook it but it makes it taste way better than tje meats

This reminded me of food wars when kuga and Souma were competing in the school festival

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.

i took a exchange year in Japan, and when asked about their favorite dish, the Chinese students would always say mapo dofu 😂 i do wanna try it someday, even though i usually dislike tofu

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?

[mochabean]

Thank you for thinking of those of us that don't eat meat 😊

[Ashley_Baldwin]

Does your recipe use Sichuan Dou Ban Jiang?

[ajcollection]

Am coming because I made mistake mapo tofu with sinchuan spicy tofu 😂
Ooowhhh my poor customer 😁

[ndrhskndr]

Is that soy bean with vegetables necessary for the recipe?or can it be substituted with something else?

[wrenwry]

can i ask what kind of mushroom you use?

[vanillamilkshake]

don't put sesame oil first, put it last, you'll lose all that flavour anyway and it's pricy
neutral oil or lard is just fine

[Nimsan]

Just had this for the first time ever at my local chinese spot and it was honestly 10/10 a new favorite

[arfriedman]

A few restaurants by me stopped putting meat in the mapo tofu.

[jakesyoutubezone]

That Zhajiang Fried soybean/vegetable paste looks great but I can’t find a seller online, would Korean jajang paste be a good substitution?

[vanessawong]

can you make the vegan version please? :o

[rage_tv]

Looks delicious definitely gotta give this a try. I’ve made super basic and Americanized versions of the dish and it still came out great but I’m gonna try this one. Idk if I can get all these ingredients tho😂
