Mapo Tofu

Mapo Tofu

Overview

Mapo Tofu is a Sichuan dish. It tastes spicy and fragrant. It is a very good side dish. Our family likes it very much and eats it often! I remember when I was a kid, I rarely ate tofu because the process of making tofu was complicated and I only ate it on birthdays or holidays. The adults soaked the harvested beans one night in advance and ground them in a mill the next day. I remember that the adults took turns grinding them. , our children take turns to grind more, (that is, use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of beans, add a little water, and put it into the eyes of the mushrooms). Do a lot at one time. It is a big pot and one pot. Filter the ground soy milk, put the filtered soy milk into the big pot, and cook. Open, use gypsum powder to form bean curds, press it slightly with a sieve, and it will form into lumps. First, use a bowl to scoop a large bowl for each person, mix in seasonings, and eat them. We call them live water bean curds here. They are very delicious😋Now that I think about them, they are so delicious, bean curds. After finishing eating, scoop the leftovers in the pot into a large sieve, put a heavy object on it to squeeze out the water, and it becomes tofu. Cut it into small cubes, add seasonings, and make mapo tofu. Serve with rice. It will be ready in a while, and it tastes delicious...
