- How to make Authentic Chinese Sichuan style Mapo Tofu. This famous dish is one of the most popular Sichuan dishes around the world. There are so many different version of this dish, but this is the flavor I grow up with and this is how my grandma used to cook. I am also showing you in the end, how to store peppercorn properly.
For Vegan recipe, just leave out the beef, use water instead of chicken stock.
Ingredients:
1 box of Tofu ( about 1 pound)
3 tbsp Canola oil
1/4 cup Minced Chinese leeks ( If you can’t find Chinese leeks, regular leeks are good too, or use green onions instead)
4 oz Ground Beef ( Traditionally is beef but a lot of restaurants use ground pork too, taste as good!)
2 1/2 tbsp Sichuan chili bean paste ( Pi Xian Douban)
1 tbsp Minced pickled red pepper ( I pickled some Thai chili peppers, this is only close pepper I can find, you can use them fresh for this recipe, or any pickled red chili peppers)
1 tbsp Minced ginger
2 tsp Ground dried Sichuan chili powder
1 tsp Ground dried Sichuan pepper corn powder ( some extra to sprinkle on top of the dish)
1 Cup water ( chicken stock is better if you have)
1 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Aged Chinese soy sauce
A pinch of salt to taste
1 tbsp Fermented blak beans
4 tsp Corn starch with 2 tbsp cold water( Mix well together)
Steps:
Cut the tofu into 1 inch cubes, then put in lightly salted hot water for 1 minute, drain the tofu before the water boil.
Heat the canola oil over a high heat until smoking. Add ground beef and stir-fry until crispy but not dry. Then add chili bean paste( Douban) , minced pickled red pepper and ginger. Turn the heat to medium, Stir-fry the beef with the spices for 30 seconds. Then add dry Sichuan chili powder and Sichuan pepper corn powder, fermented black beans, stir-fry for another 20 seconds.
Add water in with the beef, Season with sugar, soy sauce, pinch of sate, mix well then add drained tofu. Mix tofu gently, otherwise tofu may break up. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the tofu absorbed the flavors of the sauce.
Add the leeks or green onions gently stir in, add the cornstarch mixture in 2 or 3 stages, mixing well, until the sauce thickened enough.
Finally, pour everyone into a bowl, then sprinkle some dried Sichuan pepper corn power on top of your dish. Serve hot!

Fermented black beans: amzn.to/32cHwlX

Do you re-vacuum seal your spices after every single use? Seems tedious but I hear what you’re saying about them losing their potency quickly ! Great video.
I vacuumed sealed them in even smaller pouches now, so for bigger bag if I am not finish them I do re seal them to keep it fresh!
@@CookingBomb thanks for the reply, just subscribed to your insta. Look forward to more culinary info! Esp about pickles !
@Nico Payton why would u do that
Depending on how often you use ground sichaun peppercorn, I've found it best to just make it fresh with whatever meal you're cooking. I also buy sichaun peppercorn in smaller amounts, so I tend to go through a bag in a few months, which doesn't quite justify the pain of constant vacu-sealing.
nice all
Well your grandmother knew what she was doing for sure! This looks so delicious
Recipes with Resa thank you 🙏 she was a great cook
I’m vegan and I love you’re videos! I appreciate the tips for vegans!!

As someone who loves spicy food, this was amazing. though I did make some changes due to being vegan it was still amazing,
I’m so happy these videos exist I LOVE watching how you make Sichuan Mapo tofu!! I can’t wait to make this one day soon I’m craving the spicy numbness🤤🤤
Thank you:) Sichuan pepper corn is my favorite
Oh my God I saw it your first video yesterday and I am binge-watching them today! You take such good care of your family and are so proud of your heritage. I wish I would have had a mother like you growing up!
The first time I actually enjoy watching people cook Chinese food because when the chef uses only the cleaver for everything to cut and pork lard, you know she’s being serious 😂 really enjoy your videos thank you!!!
I love listening to you. Your so expressive! And your so excited to share your recipes. ❤️
I love how respectful & helpful she is for vegetarian & vegan option suggestions. I cook both meat & veggie options so sometimes it is hard to find recipes you can make both ways!
I cannot tell you how obsessed I am with all of the dishes you've made. I've dragged my poor boyfriend to the Asian grocery store more times than you can imagine in the last month! I love what you do, please continue. Also, you have such a beautiful family
Mapo Doufu is one of my favorite and I can't wait to make this again. That numbing sensation from the Szechuan peppercorn makes everything worth it. 🥰😘🤤
I like it when you refer to your mom or Grandma, then i know it is authentic. All my cooking knowledge was from my mom.

yaas!! i follow you on tiktok and ugg you make the best food!!! Also been wanting to make this but never found a decent recipe! I had it from a fancy 'chinese' place and there was no numbness T_T I was so sad! Mapo tofu is one of my favorite dishes we made in culinary school and Sichuan food is one of my favorite areas of food!! Thank you so much can't wait to try this!!!
I love your energy. :)
Very nice! That’s mostly how I also make my mapo doufu, but I also add some garlic and liaojiu. Additionally, I don’t cook the ground Szechuan peppercorn in the sauce, but sprinkle them on top as garnish.
I definitely gotta make this i love mapo tofu
Hi

I like the vegetarian version the most, but, it's true that pork is the most delicious meat ❤❤❤
