The first time I ate mapo tofu, I was walking through the streets of Ikebukuro and found a restaurant with plastic food outside. I saw the mapo tofu and thought it was curry tofu, so I ordered it. It was absolutely delicious and I ended up eating the same dish several times during my stay. I'm really happy to have found this video!

Yes! You can use ground chicken instead of the ground pork :)

As a Chinese, I feel she is doing pretty good. Though it is very different from the one in China, but the her steps are clear and the result looks good. Different place have very different taste, I feel her way suits Japanese taste very well. Good job.

The mapo tofu dish dates back to the Qing dynasty. The "mapo" in mapo tofu, meaning "pockmarked elderly woman" was the nickname given to its creator, Mrs. Chen who owned a small restaurant in Chengdu, Sichuan and had a pockmarked face. The dish later became one of the most popular dishes in Sichuan cuisine. Although there are hundreds of variations of mapo tofu nowadays, the Sichuan versions of the dish are probably the closest to the original recipe used by Mrs. Chen.

For a lot of Chinese cooking? No not really, but that's the basis of a lot of Asian cuisine. Making use of the ingredients available which is how a lot of recipes came to be, rather than looking for an exact recipe somewhat how a lot of Western Cuisines are.

In particular not for Chinese cuisine though. Records of exact recipes for Chinese dishes dates back to at least Song dynasty which is a thousand years ago (It is very likely there were recipes much older than that but are lost today). The recipes were very detailed. Such recipes represent a refined culinary culture such as that of imperial China. Although some dishes do come from making use of the ingredients available, most of them come from intentional creation.

East Asians don't view tofu as something exclusively for vegetarian: That's something that has been done in the west. Tofu is viewed more as a legume, rather than a meat substitute. Meat substitutes usually consist of seitan/wheat protein, and can be found in Chinese Buddhist temples.

Loved the "Mapo tofu goes great with steamed rice!" part. :)

yorokobe shounen now we knew how to make kirei's favorite food

Finally made this the other night and it was delicious!! Didn't have pork on hand, so i substituted finely minced konnyaku, and it worked so well. It adds texture and helps carry the sauce. If anyone's interested, just dry-roast the minced konnyaku over high heat until it makes a squeaking sound, then add the sesame oil and proceed with the recipe as Chef indicates.

I just instantly thought of Kirei Kotomine...

+ambiva It think the chili paste can be replaced with sriracha, since they are both spicy condiments. It's not that hard to find the sweet bean sauce in the chinese section of your grocery store

Try it with Vegetable Stock and Quorn Mince. Quorn Mince is a meat-free substitute essentially made from Fungi, so similar to mushrooms, really. If your grocers/supermarkets do not stock Quorn, it may be under a different brand. Just ask around for vegetarian meat substitutes in major supermarkets.

I love those ceramic chef's knives! They never dull.

You forgot the most important ingredient, the Sichuan pepper (花椒), Sichuan cuisine is famous for its numming and spicy taste, the Sichuan pepper gives it the famous numming taste, and also traditional mapo tofu uses ground beef instead of ground pork and green onion instead of garlic chives

+Skaarf Mercenary This is definitely not the authentic Szechuan dish... you are not achieving Ma La flavor cooking this way. Even though most ingredients are "present," a dish is not really about the list of ingredients, but how you cook it. First of all, the first thing you do is toast the Szechuan peppercorn. I can list many things that are not very Chinese with this recipe, but the most important thing, for those who care, is that in order to achieve the Ma La flavor (numbing hot flavor that you taste in your local authentic Szechuan restaurants' mapo tofu) you need to first get the peanut oil (not sesame oil. completely different taste) hot, then add szechuan peppercorn with some dried pepper to add the numbing flavor as well as the spicy flavor. This is not enough, however. Use mortal and pestle to grind the toasted peppercorn and sprinkle it on the finished dish to further add numbing flavor. If these two steps are not there, you don't get the "ma la." Without it, it's not really authentic.

@DB-em3fd

8 жыл бұрын

+Skaarf Mercenary I understand that Japanese people may not really like the numbing hot flavor, which is the epitome of Szechuan dishes. This is probably why the lady said Szechuan peppercon can be added in the end. I cannot deny that this dish is Mapo Tofu (or variation of it), but it certainly is not the 'authentic' chinese recipe.

@cyanginpedro

+Skaarf Mercenary Have you tried both versions? They're not "practically the same". The Chinese version is very different because it uses Sichuan peppercorns that make your mouth tingle.

Watching from 2019. Francis' voice still sounds consistent .

Chinese rice wine can be used instead of sake. You can try the mapo with either firm or semi-firm tofu. For me, I prefer my tofu to be softer - make sure you press the softer tofu longer since they hold more liquid. This version is less spicy and less oily then authentic Chinese version. I like them both.

今日、麻婆豆腐のレシピを作りました。本当においしかったです！ありがとうございます、Ｃｏｏｋｉｎｇ　ｗｉｔｈ　ｄｏｇのおかげで、たくさん新しくておいしいレシピを毎日学んでいます！

Just made my first mapo tofu this weekend thanks to this recipe. It was very simple, fun and delicious~ Thank you Cookingwithdog!

I imagine you could use vegetable stock as well, if konbu's not available in your area or veggie bouillon is simply easier to find at your local market. In the US, I know Knorr brand offers veggie stock cubes.

The dog looks happy.

It's a round-bottomed pan similar to a wok and about 26 cm in diameter :)

Oh childhood memories! Thank you

I think you can use any meat for it, or omit it all together. If you want it to be fully vegetarian, you may replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock. The meat only adds a bit of flavor to the sauce. The sauce itself with the tofu is delicious, the meat is just bonus. :D

wow,a 5:26 it's incredible how the dog looks humanized. Seems the dog likes the mapo tofu plate, and is agree on the opinion of the chef.

Oh and also, I LOVE how even dishes that contain meat seem to have very little actual meat in them. That's how I'm trying to cook nowadays, with meat more like a seasoning or small part of the overall dish. I know ethnic cuisine is amazing for vegetarians (I was for about 15 yrs.), so I'm gravitating back toward it now with the attempt to limit meat. That's how I stumbled onto this channel anyway. Thanks! I can't wait to try some of your recipes, dog.

I just made this and is delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!

I followed your instructions and made once two weeks ago. Delicious! I'm going to do again tonight for my family. Thanks for the video.

I made this today, it was so tasty! I could not find chilibean paste at the store so i used chili-sauce. Thank you for this recipe!

I'm really glad my Japanese friend like this ...

Love the dog's hair style lol

I even didn't expect mapo doufu is so popular in Japan. I stayed in Chengdu , the capital city of Sichuan Province for 4 years, of course mapo toufu is my favorite.

You could try it with tofu and textured vegetable protein or tempeh. The TVP would mimic the texture of ground beef. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock. Also, you'll need to compensate for the lack of fat from the pork by adding at least 1 tablespoon of oil. I would recommend corn or canola/rape seed oil because these have a very high smoke point, although sesame oil would be more authentic.

I loved the dog.. So cute.... Mabo dofu looked delicious..

i like the sound the ginger makes when it's chopped...

I just love the face the dog is making xD

@yunkyou I was actually pointing to the fact that Korean food do not give credit to other food cultures, not Chinese cuisines alone. The Korean "Culture" of claiming other culture to originate from Korea is famous that people make fun of it /watch?v=KiLA6Bk_ivs. As for the ravioli, it's pretty much the same argument as the Korea Pizza.

Oh Francis, such a good puppy.

that's why the soy bean paste and the starch so important, so the sauce will be thick enough to stick on the tofu then you have flavor :)

made this but did some modifications. used silken tofu and 150g ground beef. the sauce tasted like it needed a little something more cause I didn't use a sweet based doubanjian so splashed some fish sauce, kecap manis, and sugar
