Mapo Tofu

with Steamed Bok Choy and Jasmine Rice

A popular Sichuan dish, Mapo tofu is most readily identified by the spicy chili- and bean-based sauce it’s served in. The name literally translates as “pockmarked old woman”, and is supposed to be an homage to the woman who originally served up the dish in Chengdu, China. Spicy, silken, and richly flavored, it’s one of our favorite ways to enjoy tofu!
