@EverythingIsFabulous 8 лет назад

The mapo tofu dish dates back to the Qing dynasty. The "mapo" in mapo tofu, meaning "pockmarked elderly woman" was the nickname given to its creator, Mrs. Chen who owned a small restaurant in Chengdu, Sichuan and had a pockmarked face. The dish later became one of the most popular dishes in Sichuan cuisine. Although there are hundreds of variations of mapo tofu nowadays, the Sichuan versions of the dish are probably the closest to the original recipe used by Mrs. Chen.

@cykablyat1466 7 лет назад

For a lot of Chinese cooking? No not really, but that's the basis of a lot of Asian cuisine. Making use of the ingredients available which is how a lot of recipes came to be, rather than looking for an exact recipe somewhat how a lot of Western Cuisines are.

@rubberbites619 7 лет назад

In particular not for Chinese cuisine though. Records of exact recipes for Chinese dishes dates back to at least Song dynasty which is a thousand years ago (It is very likely there were recipes much older than that but are lost today). The recipes were very detailed. Such recipes represent a refined culinary culture such as that of imperial China. Although some dishes do come from making use of the ingredients available, most of them come from intentional creation.

East Asians don't view tofu as something exclusively for vegetarian: That's something that has been done in the west. Tofu is viewed more as a legume, rather than a meat substitute. Meat substitutes usually consist of seitan/wheat protein, and can be found in Chinese Buddhist temples.

@genchwanlim2970 4 года назад

tofu is made from soybeans. Mapo tofu usually contain beef or pork. Only vegetarians eat mapo tofu without meat

The first time I ate mapo tofu, I was walking through the streets of Ikebukuro and found a restaurant with plastic food outside. I saw the mapo tofu and thought it was curry tofu, so I ordered it.

Try it with Vegetable Stock and Quorn Mince. Quorn Mince is a meat-free substitute essentially made from Fungi, so similar to mushrooms, really. If your grocers/supermarkets do not stock Quorn, it may be under a different brand. Just ask around for vegetarian meat substitutes in major supermarkets.

@DB-em3fd 8 лет назад

Not the authentic mapo tofu recipe. I guess this is how Mapo Tofu is cooked in Japan.

@DB-em3fd 8 лет назад

+Skaarf Mercenary This is definitely not the authentic Szechuan dish... you are not achieving Ma La flavor cooking this way. Even though most ingredients are "present," a dish is not really about the list of ingredients, but how you cook it. First of all, the first thing you do is toast the Szechuan peppercorn. I can list many things that are not very Chinese with this recipe, but the most important thing, for those who care, is that in order to achieve the Ma La flavor (numbing hot flavor that you taste in your local authentic Szechuan restaurants' mapo tofu) you need to first get the peanut oil (not sesame oil. completely different taste) hot, then add szechuan peppercorn with some dried pepper to add the numbing flavor as well as the spicy flavor. This is not enough, however. Use mortal and pestle to grind the toasted peppercorn and sprinkle it on the finished dish to further add numbing flavor. If these two steps are not there, you don't get the "ma la." Without it, it's not really authentic.

@DB-em3fd 8 лет назад

+Skaarf Mercenary I understand that Japanese people may not really like the numbing hot flavor, which is the epitome of Szechuan dishes. This is probably why the lady said Szechuan peppercon can be added in the end. I cannot deny that this dish is Mapo Tofu (or variation of it), but it certainly is not the 'authentic' chinese recipe.

@cyanginpedro 8 лет назад

+Skaarf Mercenary Have you tried both versions? They're not "practically the same". The Chinese version is very different because it uses Sichuan peppercorns that make your mouth tingle. The sensation is what makes Sichuan cooking so unique. If you want to see what Brian's talking about, watch Anthony Bourdain's show Parts Unknown.

@FIyingDumpling 9 лет назад

Hi Chef and Francis. What can I substitute for tian mian jiang (although that might compromise the authentic flavor of mapo tofu)? What is tian mian jiang made of? And is dou ban jiang very different from toban jian by Lee Kum Kee? That's the only sauce which I think to be similar to dou ban jiang.

@andrewjackson7476 9 лет назад

BEST WAY to drain water from TOFU = leave it on top of drainer in refrigerator overnight. Very soft or silken tofu will dry enough, both outside AND INSIDE, enough to absorb the taste of sauce, instead of shedding water and repelling the taste of sauce.

I've never seen "garlic chives" before, even at the farmer's market. Is that something we could find at an Asian market? I'm in Seattle, can't get easier access to any type of Asian cuisine or ingredient, I'd think...but I'm kinda in the burbs and don't exactly have an Asian market on the corner. I'll stop at one next time I'm in town though if they are usually carried fresh? Does anyone know? :-) They look awesome....would love to try them in my cooking.

@nielsf 11 лет назад

I asked this same question and i got pointed to sherry, and then simply add sugar to make "mirin" or leave as is to make "sake". I like it since i never tasted real sake or mirin and i don't know the real taste. I have been told that the real sake has a very specific taste and so sherry does not really emulate it very good. Also as a tip i got, but one i did not like, was "Vermount". Personally i dislike the taste of vermount.

@DJRobNHood 11 лет назад

You could try it with tofu and textured vegetable protein or tempeh. The TVP would mimic the texture of ground beef. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock. Also, you'll need to compensate for the lack of fat from the pork by adding at least 1 tablespoon of oil. I would recommend corn or canola/rape seed oil because these have a very high smoke point, although sesame oil would be more authentic.

@chateae 12 лет назад

Not a bad recipe, but it is quite Japan-ized...if you know what I mean. This recipe makes the Mapo Tofu non-spicy, but instead very sweet compared to Chinese style. Also, the recipe omits the use of Sichuan Pepper (花椒), which is a spiced often used in Sichuan cuisine. I'm not saying this is a bad recipe, but if you want more authentic Mapo Tofu, you might want to try something else.

@tsukima8920 12 лет назад

@ultimatesend Tian Mian Jiang and Doubangjian are both made out of beans, just one is sweet the other is spicy. I'm not sure if you know of Hoisan Sauce, Pho place always have them(the black one) but they work too, perhaps just add a bit sugar to it unless you think it's already sweet enough. If you really can't find anything---adding sugar into Doubangjian will be your last resort. Add until you think it's more sweet than spicy then you can stop.

@yunkyou 12 лет назад

@mayatk1 In your line of logic, then, why don't you blame the Italians for not giving credit to the Chinese for their dishes like ravioli (which was developed by the Chinese technique of using rice flour)? It seems like, to you, anything that is remotely influenced by Chinese cuisine should be given credit as being Chinese. PS: Koreans do give credit to Chinese cuisine. Research before blabbing out unwarrated assumptions, thanks :)
