I wish more cooking vids were like this. Just straight, to-the-point, authentic, informative, and a focus on the *food*.

I followed your recipe, and the result was OUTSTANDING. Love the texture, love the "numbness" in my mouth from the Szechuan peppercorns. You have a real talent for both cooking and clearly explaining the process and philosophy. Many thanks!

Thank you for a glorious recipe! I made this months back and loved it so much that I made it 3 times in 1 week! I prepared it with a different meat each time - beef, pork, and chicken. Each one was scrumptious. I’m making it again tonight! I can’t wait.

This was fantastic! No useless talking, nothing cute, just straight up informative and educational. Loved that you added the 7 characteristics in your narrative! BTW, great knife work, brother!

The best and best explained Mapo Tofu video recipe I found on KZread! As soon as I'll be able to acquire some Dou ba jiang I will try to cook it.

dear Art of Cooking, I can't thank you enough for this tutorial. My son brought it to my attention and it has been my huge favorite ever since. Every time I try to get better making it. Thank you! Thank you!

I have cooked ALL of the recipes on KZread for mapo tofu. This is hands down the BEST. Hubby agrees. Thank you!

Wow, the best AOC video yet and that's saying a lot. A very high level of art in the way you cook this. It's a pleasure to see.

This is the best mapo tofu segment I’ve seen on KZread. And I’ve seen quite a few. Thanks.

This is literally the best 麻婆豆腐 recipe I watched on KZread

You are incredibly entertaining to listen to as well as educational. I follow you because of the quality of your recipes compared to everyone else’s on KZread. Thank you for your videos, I’ve tried many and always a success!!! 👍

Literally the best mapo tofu I've ever made. I wish you continued making more videos!

I just made this dish. I skipped the crushed peppers because it's my first time trying it. Otherwise, I followed the instructions exactly. It is SO good. This dude is a genius!

This is my favorite dish, and your recipe is the best! This is my go-to comfort food whenever I need a boost to my mood, but I'd eat it no matter how I felt! Thanks for providing the recipe that has fueled many cozy dinner times!

Your videos are fantastic man, please try to make more. I love learning how to make the authentic Chinese cuisine.

This recipe looks positively divine. I definitely will be trying this one. Can't wait! Also, your explanations are very precise and excellently presented. I plan on making many of your dishes. Thanks

One of the most authentic recipes!!!

This recipe is out of this world, it’s so friggin good!!

Inspiring! One of the best videos I've watched on Chinese cooking, thank you so much!

Thanks! One of my favorite dishes from my time in Taiwan, now I'm ready to make it. Just popped in here for a quick review, now I'm heading back to the kitchen!

Who's here during COVID 19 lockdown in 2020? I miss this guy :( Still the best cooking channel on KZread

Finally, someone who knows how to make the REAL Authentic Ma Po ToFu !!!!

It looks good Raymond, always looking forward to your tutorials. 😃

When I want a good Chinese recipe, You're the Man🙏

I've watched this video many times over the years, and I've finally attempted the dish. While I ultimately failed in replicating what you've made, the flavors were still there. I definitely look forward to making it again.

I’ve been making this recipe for years and my hubby loves it! Definitely a favorited video 🥰

Holy smokes. That looks so... GOOD. I've only eaten Ma Po Tofu once a couple years back, and I'll never forget the taste. I must have more...

One of the best ma po tofu recipes here!!! Thanks a lot!

Looks amazing Raymond, great to see your videos again. I always look forward to your videos.

i love your dishes, thanks

OMG i made it and it was soooo delicious 😋!!! I was in Chengdu and had the original Mapo Tofu so good! I accidentally bought wrong Pi Xian chilli instead of broad beans paste still turn up well as I added a little bit extra sugar instead. I made the vegetarian version .... thanks so much! This is the best ever Mapo Tofu recipe! Traditional one indeed. 🙏🏻✨♥️💎

Great recipe. I love this dish

Awesome video cooking lesson. Thanks! I've made this according to your recipe, it was DElicious! I will make this often now that I have all the ingredients! YUM

Wow looks so delicious! Thanks for the great explanation!

thanks for the links on exactly what to buy! I've been looking for a video that shows what best products to buy for agesss

Thank you so much for posting this video! You make the best Mapo Doufu! I've made it several times and it's my absolute most favourite dish on earth! I make mine without the meat :)

Excellent recipe and tutorial! Absolutely delicious and easy to make. Yummy!

I cant believe how good mapo tofu turned out for me. thanks bro. this dish blew my mind seriously!!!

Great recipe and awesome presentation!

thank you! what a blessing to have this video. this is one of my favorite dishes and now i can make it. God bless you. great video.

Thank you so much for posting links for the ingredients that I can order easily

This is the second recipe of yours which I have watched. You are brilliant! Very enjoyable presentations! Thank you!

Your this recipe is take-no-prisoner tour-de-force and authentic! BRAVO! Thank you!

YES !!! Got most of my ingredients - will make that this afternoon for dinner -rice is boiling now - can't wait on a cold December evening !!

Thank you for the boiling tip! I'd never have thought that it would help with sauce absorption. New flavor opportunities arise......!

This looks like a good recipe to try. Slightly different than how I normally make it, but worth giving it a go. I happen to love Mapo Dofu. Sichuan Pepper Corns are wonderful in the numbing effect.

expert! thanks for sharing this wonderful receipt

Your a great chef. Made many of your dishes because there very good and easy to follow your instructions . Thank you

the best Mapo Tofu recipe., spot on!

I have just tried! It's easy to make and tastes incredibly good!!!!!!

Fabulous recipe, made it last night. Might make it once again this evening, it's so good!

Very good recipe, thanks!

Don't apologize for messing around! Your humor gives your videos character :> I've heard of this dish a lot and it looks absolutely delicious. I'll definitely try this some day. Thanks for the authentic version of this recipe.

WoW!!! That was so artistic. In fact, it is a masterpiece once completed. I hope mine looks this good when I make it!

I am eating your fantastic Mapo Tofu right now. My husband is a very good cook of Asian foods, and has made delicious Mapo Tofu before, but your recipe is AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for posting clear directions! Looking forward to all your other great recipes!! From Catherine in Atlanta

Miss your tutorials please post more beautiful authentic dishes. I’d love to learn more.

delicious dish. i love this. tks.

Thanks raymond, i've been waiting for this dishes...

Nice video ... I've cooked this dish before from a recipe, but I think that so much of Chinese cooking is in the technique, not just ingredients. Very helpful!

Nice dish. Thank you.

Japanese love Ma Po Tofu. I make it often but not that spicy. My son loves it esp over rice to make Ma Po Don. Thanks for this authentic recipe.

Very nice tutorial to accompany your top notch videography. Most informative, with a touch of humor to keep it enjoyable as well as educational. I have only made this dish a few times, but after watching your video tutorial, I feel like I will be making an entirely new dish when I attempt to pay homage to Mama Chen, very soon. Thank you so much for sharing your labor of love.

Can't wait to try this. Thank you🙏🏼👍🏽🤗

Just made this again tonight. So so good!

Thank you so much for this. It is the most authentic I've seen so far and each step was very well explained. Can't wait to see if I can find the dou ban jiang at my local chinese supermarket so I can try the recipe...(though I doubt if I'll be able to find the fermented black beans)

Yesterday I made the Szechuan Kung Pao and today I tried your Mabo Tofu recipe. Both are just soooo delicious!! I reduced the sugar amount for the Mabo Tofu a bit because I like it spicy. Thank you so so soo much for this recipe!!

I had to look for a while but managed to find the fermented broad beans. Now I'm ready to make this dish. I can't wait!

Just made it- following exactely your recipe- and I simply love it! All my cravings for chinese food were satisfied! But it is hot- my family can't eat it. Next time I will have to reduce the amount of chili. Now I have the leftovers all for myself! Thank you, discovered your channel only recently, you do a wonderful job!

Great recipe!

I very much look forward to trying this recipe, but I love the point when you suddenly, without warning, do a little comedy bit. Sugah!!

At last!! Someone who can cook! Thank you so much for sharing !! ...going to kitchen...!

Great tutorial. Will have to try this recipe.

Turned out great!

You're the BEST!..Im hooked on your video, style of cooking and the help & links you provide for each dish...when I miss my malaysian chinese food..you are my go to...just awesome H&K

Today I made your recipe for mapo tofu for the third time. You really nailed it! There are countless videos about mapo tofu on KZread claiming to be the authentic. Yours is better than them all and the equal of the mapo tofu made by the "State Banquet Master Chef - THE traditional Mapo Tofu recipe made at home". Thank you!

great recipe, thanks

this looks amazing!

This is the best recipe, make it often

Thank you for linking the ingredient list, I plan a trip to the Asian market in Wichita, Ks soon and I can look for the brands you have suggested on this and from your lists on the other videos, many of these ingredients are not available locally so your links will be a great help...the goods are fresher and prices more reasonable than in the big chain supermarkets

Best video on Ma Po Tofu!!

Great video, thanks for sharing.

it was nice we made it. you are really explaining it clearly. we are a new fan of you.

i like the chewy/crunchy texture of pressed & fried tofu better, but this video definitely made my mouth water

Looks amazing!

YUM! Happy to wait for when you have time just as long as you haven't stopped posting altogether :-)

This is very tasty😋 different from the usual mapo tofu I've tried. Thanks for sharing❤
