  • 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

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

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

  • this is very helpful - i bought silken tofu and i didnt know what i'do with it - till i saw your vid :)

  • glade it was helpful and you didn't have to waste your tofu.

  • 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!

  • i can eat this for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Goes well with plain rice and egg noodles.

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

  • that's going to be some spicy mapo tofu

  • @mark3mark  nice

  • good, I will cook this soon

  • 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

  • Ah, thanks.
