BETTER THAN TAKEOUT - Mapo Tofu Recipe

There are 8 characteristics for an authentic Mapo tofu, which are 麻、辣、鲜、香、嫩、滑、翠、整. Translated as numbing, spicy, umami, fragrant, tender, smooth, green (garlic sprout as garnish), and whole (no broken tofu). It sounds mouth-watering, LOL! Unlike the western takeout style of mapo tofu, the real one will make you sweat in just a few bites. 🥢MY CARBON STEEL WOK USA - CANADA / AUSTRALIA / EU / UK - 🥢PRINTABLE RECIPE - 🥢MY AMAZON INFLUENCER/AFFILIATE PAGE - (I share ingredients and recommended products there) 🥢SUPPORT ME ON PATREON - Videography / Editing by Austin Schargorodski - INGREDIENTS 10-12 red dried chilies, cut in 1/2 inch long pieces 1-2 tbsps. of Sichuan peppercorns 2.5 tbsps. of Sichuan Dou Ban Jiang 1.5 tsps. of fermented black soy
