Nice video, short and to the point, with great looking final product.

This appears to be a non northern version of mapo dofu. The chefs seem to be speaking cantonese. Thank god, hes not using oyster sauce, which is the familiar topping in the south. You really dont need to add sugar or salt. I find it pretty rare when im cooking a dish like this to add sugar and salt.

@lordyouu thanks for the comment, the chef's speak mandarin and are baed in Shanghai.

cheers

that's going to be some spicy mapo tofu

[mehdan2]

good, I will cook this soon

[videojudge1980]

question: when do you add the salt and sugar?

sugar and salt was mentioned at the beginning of the ingredient list. and just watched the video 3 times in case, i missed where the salt and sugar was used. salt and sugar is never used. did you intentionally leave that out? or were they added some time during the dish? if so, where at? thanks!

try this recipe and make shure all spices are from sischuan. ma-po tofu means spicy beancurd with beef. pork is still good but I find this recipe to be more authentic. enjoy!

peanut oil, ground beef, garlic, ginger, risewine, chili powder, hot chilisauce, blackbean paste, tofu, chinese leeks, soysauce, oystersauce, water, cornstarch and of course, roasted sischuan peeper corn

If Chinese cooks were teaching this, then why were they using a frying pan instead of a wok?

[mark3mark]

If you must know, these chinese cooks are working in a European restaurant in Shanghai and were cooking mapu tofu as a staff meal.

[BartImpson]

Ah, thanks.

[photonia2redrobin]

My name is Wallis, I lived in Sydney, Australia and I was brought up in both Hong Kong and Sydney. The pin yin for cornstarch in Mandarin is 'To fen', rice wine is 'me jo', in Cantonese it is 'mai chau'

Hope this can help you my friend

Can this dish be made without the meat? It looks delicious but I am eliminating meat from my diet and would not want the port in this dish.

[mark3mark]

tofu: awek in the fridge, 3 months in the freezer.
