Awesome recipe! This is the first time I’ve seen Sichuan peppercorns in their powdered form, I’ve spent so much time picking out individual peppercorns so this is a welcome change😁

Hi Ling, my husband and I love Ma Po tofu. I can’t wait to try your recipe. Is that your husband behind the camera? I love all his reactions to your excellent easy to follow recipes. It would be nice to see him in front of the camera enjoying your food sometime. ☺️

Hey Ling. It's been a while since I made tofu. I should try it again sometime. I went through the list for my mother in law she should eat due to her health. The greens she should eat the most is broccoli and bought lots this morning so most likely, it will be a tofu broccoli dish. I may include other vegetables to give it color, like carrots. We'll see this weekend. Earlier this week, I made a chow fun. They loved it and still enjoying the leftovers. Nice that my family is enjoying home cooked meals made just like the restaurants.

Thank you for another great video that again taught me something. I've made mapo tofu before but didn't think to add Sichuan pepper to it. As much as I like mapo tofu I rarely make it. My spouse likes tofu but can't handle spicy food unfortunately so I have to make it just for myself. I could leave the heat out of it but then it wouldn't be mapo tofu. Incidentally I use sweet rice flour to thicken sauces. I found that it has less of a starchy taste.

Sweet rice flour sounds good. Thanks 😊

Hello Ling, love the receipe... now my questions: q.1- please explain fore or against adding bean sprouts and/or even bamboo shoots at the end of this preparation for mapo tofu, q.2- what is your standard ratio for preparing your potato starch or corn starch slurry, thanks

@ChineseHealthyCook Жыл бұрын

The authentic recipe doesn’t have other veggies, and don’t we want to highlight tofu? The slurry is about 1 tbsp starch mixed with 1/4 cup water, approximately 😊
