OPEN for ingredients! My ultra easy recipe for Mapo Tofu Sichuan-Chinese dish of tofu braised in a spicy minced meat gravy.
Mapo Tofu is not a typical Chinese-Singaporean food, but it’s the one dish that I make very often at home. I love it for the bold and spicy flavours that go so amazingly well with some rice. It is also deceptively easy to make!
