Ma Po Doufu (麻婆豆腐)

mapo doufu

This is one of the easiest dishes to whip up when you don’t feel like cooking.  To do it the mapo lady’s style (the Sichuan lady with pot holes on her face invented this dish), we need firstly, to have the Sichuan pepper that leaves the tongue tingling after eating.  The second must is the bean paste, which can be replaced by miso.

Eaten over a lettuce or baby cos lettuce, it can be the filling to a San Choy Bao. This recipe is very handy and useful. Just keep a few packets of doufu in the fridge. Always a quick meal, as it takes me just 20 minutes to get this and the rice done.
