Just finishing cooking your wonderful Mapo Tofu recipe and this meal is so delicious. I want to eat the whole pot in one go. Super easy to make, and super yummy to eat. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome recipe
Its my favourite dish too after eating at a local Szechuan shop in Adelaide. Its called the Yummy box cooked by the owner and chef. Absolutely lip smacking! In Singapore,, I’ve tried at a hawker ctr and I found it very medicinal due to the overwhelming broad bean paste. At home we can control e portions and I’ve tried ur recipe and it perfectly suits our palette. Thank u sooo much for sharing
Looks so good. I can feel sweat forming on my forehead. Local restaurants never makes it spicy. Mild at best. I tell them....Make it spicy, but they don't. Thanks for sharing.
First ever mapo tofu recipe we tried and my family loves it! We did it without sichuan peppercorn since we can't handle too much spiciness/numbess and yet it tastes good! TQVM for the recipe!
I always like to eat Mapo Tofu. After watching the video, I tried to make it taste very good. I like the taste of tofu, bean paste and minced pork. I like it very much
One of my fav dish also. Last time crystal jade kitchen singapore also used to have mapo tofu but they deep fried the tofu instead. Now can’t find them anymore.
Happy New Year! Thank you very much for all the 'easy followed yet delicious ' recipes. Pray that more followers in these 'Dog' year for Spice N Pans. Do you know watching your food /recipes are so comforting for Singaporean who lives overseas liked me? Thanks again and keep up the wonderful video. Awesome !
Hi Happy Lunar New Year. Thank you for sharing another yummy recipe.I tried the deep fried chicken wings and the braised E Fu noodles for my C N Year dinner.There were absolutely delicious . My family was v impressed .Thanks again.☺
I wanted to try this but i don’t know if i can find all the ingredients here in Japan supermarket, i remember this when i am in Singapore before my employer’s mother always cooked this
Love your channel a lot!!! I've tried a couple of recipes from u so far. They are all really good! 👍👍👍 Thank you so much for your wonderful channel! Really helps me a lot whenever I feel like eating something and don't feel like buying from outside. XD
Thank you Yi Chen for leaving us such a nice comment 🙏🙏🙏 we’re very happy to know that you enjoyed our recipes. This motivates us to share more videos. Really appreciate. 🙏🙏
do all mapo tofu use broad bean paste or just your recipe? i got g6pd and allergic to broad beans. i’ve eaten mapo tofu before but not gotten sick. so im wondering is it just your recipe?
I find the taste is unique and not my usual acquired taste. It tasted salty and savoury, not like your usual Chinese dish. Maybe I should have added a teaspoon of sugar, or just get used to the taste to appreciate the dish more?
A Chinese man told me that a new Asian grocery delivery has almost everything needed for Asian cooking, here in the USA and I think Canada also. The name of it is, SayWeee.com.
Good morning Sharon. Are you staying in Singapore? You can look for the 香辣酱from Shengsiong or Yuhua. Click here to see how the bottle looks like wap.okmaicai.com/product/ProductDetail.aspx?pno=LB081700808 / As for chicken stock, we like CP chicken stock. It comes in a pack of 200ml concentrated solution. You have to add 300ml of water to it. If you can’t finish the chicken stock at one go, you can put the balance in a jar/bottle and leave it in the fridge. Hope these help.
tks for the info - i'll head to shengsiong to get the spicy sauce - my version of the sauce is just taucheo garlic shallot (blended) - gg to add spicy sauce - shd turn out fantastic - tks again
Hi Syahida. You should be able to find something similar in Malaysia. Here’s one from Lee Kum Kee but I’m not sure if they are halal. You might wanna check it out my.lkk.com/en/products/chilli-bean-sauce---toban-djan
Hihi. To make cornstarch solution, you can mix 1 part of cornflour to 2 or 3 parts water. For example 1 teaspoon of cornflour with 2-3 teaspoons of water. Usually when we mix them, we aren’t so precise though. Don’t add too much water to the cornflour. As long as the cornflour can all be dissolved when you’ve stirred it, it’s fine. Kindly note that if you’ve premixed the cornstarch solution, just before you pour the solution in, please mix it again cos the flour usually sits at the bottom of the water after some time. As to how much of cornstarch solution do you normally use in a dish depends on how thick you want the gravy to be. It’s entirely up to your preference. Regarding your question on simmering, please simmer until the liquid in the pan is reduced by half. Timing wise depends on your heat as it varies from stove to stove. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!
Wooww!!! Extremely spicy!!! Taste so delicious and yumny dish!! Thats great!!! But I don't like beef!! Smells great!!! 😋😋 See u anytime!! And happy Chinese New Year to u too!!

Do we have to marinate the minced meat first?
Hi may I ask what kind of tofu you are using? Pressed tofu or silken?
do all mapo tofu use broad bean paste or just your recipe? i got g6pd and allergic to broad beans. i’ve eaten mapo tofu before but not gotten sick. so im wondering is it just your recipe?
Hi Darren. I’m Jamie and I also have G6PD. It hasn’t been a problem for me at all. Hope this helps.
I find the taste is unique and not my usual acquired taste. It tasted salty and savoury, not like your usual Chinese dish. Maybe I should have added a teaspoon of sugar, or just get used to the taste to appreciate the dish more?
Dear Spice n Pans. May I ask how to make chilli oil like din tai fung? Thks

Hihi. Yes I think you can but we’ve never tried their doubanjiang before. Happy cooking.
Hi! I found the spicy broadbean sauce at sheng shiong but i cant find the hot and spicy sauce. Can u show me a link to the product? :)
Look for 老干妈香辣酱 at Shengsiong. Should have.

Hi. How much cornstarch and water did you use for the cornstarch solution? And how long do you typically simmer the tofu?
