Why This Recipe Is Different

Many Mapo Tofu recipes assume experience with Sichuan cooking.

This one does not.

This recipe:

• Is written specifically for beginners

• Explains how to control heat and bitterness

• Focuses on texture as much as flavour

• Uses ingredients available in U.S. and UK Asian supermarkets

• Works with a regular frying pan or small saucepan

If the sauce is glossy and the tofu stays intact, you’re doing it right.

A Final Note

Mapo Tofu is not about extreme heat.

It is about balance —
soft tofu, steady seasoning,
and a warmth that lingers rather than overwhelms.
