Simple version of Mapo Tofu

Simple version of Mapo Tofu

Overview

I say the simple version because I don’t make the Mapo seasoning myself. My siblings brought me a local specialty from a trip to Chengdu - Mapo tofu seasoning. Using this seasoning to make mapo tofu is quick and easy and tastes great. The spiciness is acceptable to the family. A delicious dish that goes well with meals.
