This will surely convert all the tofu haters out there! It looks flippin tasty!
We're with you on that one +Donal Skehan . Bring us Mapu Tofu -looks fantastic girls!
Its like chilli con carne with the tofu as sour cream, beautiful dish :)
I love your channel, please upload more videos - really liked the recipes you made :)
Your Mapo Tofu looks really yum. Great with a bowl of jasmine rice. Thanks for the recipe
Mama Cheung Yes it's AMAZING with rice! Always eat way too much...cos it's so delicious!
I'm in love with this channel.. This is my favorite dish, and you two are great, thank you !
You two are so beautiful and cute! :3
Thx 4 recipe!
I first watched your video on Jamie's channel! Couldn't resist checking your channel out. No regrets, I subscribed straightaway! (: loving the recipes!
yummm!! looks amazing ladies! Just wanted to let you know I bought your cookbook and am so sooo excited! Keep up the amazing work you all do!
Rosie Pen Thanks Rosie!! That's so sweet of you :) Send us pics on social media if when you make something, we'd love to share them :)
it's almost midnight and I am hungry.
watching this video doesn't help me to fall asleep nor cure my hunger.
Eating it right now and i have to say it is delicious!!!
Mapo tofu is one of my favorite foods ever! You make it almost the same as I do! I add some ground Sichuan pepper at the end, but I know it can be very hard to find in many countries. Mapo tofu is always delicious, especially with some rice. I love the black beans inside the sauce because they add so much tasty flavor.
I'm bit in between I guess. I'm still learning to appreciate tofu. I'll definitly try this one. Hopefully I'll become a tofu lover, so I can cut down on my meat consumption! I love the way you girls do your cooking videos, so much fun to watch. X
ASMR Nurse Thanks! We really enjoy making them for everyone :) Yeah tofu is definitely one of those 'love it or hate it' foods, but when you try this one we hope you'll be converted to the lover's camp xx
think I'm going to try to make this vegan by omitting the mince! that chilli paste looks amazing!!!
tiffbott41 i think you can substitute the beef with some finely minced mushrooms. Similar to the beef, the mushrooms will add a layer of great taste and flavour!
ooh! that is a really great call! always trying to get more mushrooms in my meals! yum! thanks!!
tiffbott41 That's a great idea! We have some suggestions for variations on our website, if you want to take a peek (bottom of recipe): thedumplingsisters.com/2015/08/08/mapo-tofu/
patlagik Great idea! We have some suggestions like these for variations to the recipe on our website (bottom of recipe): thedumplingsisters.com/2015/08/08/mapo-tofu/. What else would you suggest as a substitute?
Great video! It looks absolutely delicious.
Samanta Cichunovaite Thanks! It was super yum :)
嗨，我倍儿喜欢你们的视频，我是一个刚开始学习怎么做中餐的法国人哈哈哈 you are both so great thx for your videos
Thanks for watching Vincent!
I love mapo tofu and I'll definitely try this version!
The first recepie I have seen without sichuan pepper, I'll have to survive ;)
Also, I really like it when the tofu is a bit more firm like this. Usually when I find it in restaurants its like a mush :(
New to your channel but already hooked :)
mmm .... might try that, just went and bought the book 🤪
Love Sponge Sisters.
Your mapo tofu is a little different from the usual mapo tofus served at restaurants. Its suppose to have a more saucey and watery consistency. The one you made looks dryer. Most usually fry some dry chili and keep the chili oil for the tofu as well as add in szechaun pepper. You didnt add shaoxing rice wine into the mince meat for flavor
Greetings from Mexico, i am coock and i work in a chinese restaurant
Love your recipes! I love chinese food( I'm from hk LOL)!!!!! Where are you guys from?
interesting i thought most mapo recipes called for ground pork. never had it with beef before. should try it next time.
Do you also add sezchuan pepper?or is it not so traditional? Will definitely try your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent vidéo, very spicy but refreshing!
I used this as my "go to" ..it was a winner with my 11 yr old.
Can you make more dumplings? Please I love you
Mapo tofu with mince I love this
Thankyou this dish was awesome, I also made a vegan version for my guests who were vegan, I replaced the lean meat with tempeh and just broke it up/crumbled, was delicious even my kids loved it!! Its kind of like a chilli con carne!? anyway enjoyed very much by all :) ps We used LEE KUM KEE brand, then just a can of black beans in springwater.
Oh fantastic! Really happy to hear that this was a crowdpleaser for all!
Dumpling Sisters
Cool thanks for replying!! I just saw your hot oil dish, will try that this weekend, ive been making one dish from your playlist every week, I actually really enjoy going out and searching for each ingredient, quite fun lol, im definintely a foodie fan - I was given a breville smoker gun at xmas and it is quite amazing giving the food a smokey flavour at end of cooking, just womdering what dishes to make that includes the smoker gun, cheers.
A smoker gun sounds *amazing!!* Unfortunately we haven't really used them before so can't offer any great tips (in fact, you'll probably be in a much better position to give us the tips!!).
your video is always so fun to watch. i wonder what black bean is called in Mandarin?
"Eazy" CHOPCHOP Thanks! It's called douchi, but in Cantonese (which is what we speak), it's more like "dou see"
lol. i live in taiwan so. haha. anyways, thanks for your help. I just started a cooking channel as well. You guys are one of my inspirations. I can't wait to get to where you are one day :)
amazing tofu recipe! please make a vid on salted egg fried rice. 😜
Amazing video I love it Thanks for sharing. :)
Looks super good, would this recipe work with chicken, instead of beef?
bagged mini Absolutely! In fact, you don't need to use any meat at all. We have some variations on our website: thedumplingsisters.com/2015/08/08/mapo-tofu/
The Dumpling Sisters Do you think this would work well with mushrooms instead of mince? I'm Vegan, so always looking for great non-meat conversions to incredibly delicious looking recipes :)
+Catherine Patin Yeah I'm wondering that too, what could work to replace the beef... mushrooms came to my mind too
that is what i was thinking
were are you guys..?
More videos please???
yummm!!!! i have a really weak tongue so my mom always has to make it less spicy for me. :) haha
i like food.
yumo.
is that Firm tofu in the USA ? because we have silken/soft and medium and firm
Have anybody tried making it without beef? It is similar or lots of taste is lost?
Good tip-Steam tofu to help it keep shape! xi xi ni!!
there's the sichuan peppercorns though ): ?
could you show how to make egg drop soup. its my favorite but i dont know how to make it
Might taste better with grounded pork and shitake mushroom. Keep up the good work.
Yum Yum, save me some!
Hugh Janus Sorry, all gone into our bellies!
The Dumpling Sisters LOL
at 2:30, you use a word to describe the bottled chili sauce -- but I can't figure it out -- it sounds like you said "boorish", but that wouldn't make sense, so I'm assuming you said something else?
+Briguy1027 Moreish - meaning it's so tummy that it makes you want more and more of it! (It's a real world - truly!)
+The Dumpling Sisters LOL, I thought I was fluent in English, but since you guys are so nice and cute I'll take your word that moreish is a real word.
Home style tofu for the next video?
where sichuan pepper..
You forgot the Sichuan pepper....
All of your videos in a nutshell: heat wok, add cornflour/bicarb to beef, cornflour slurry, variation of sauce
***** But you didn't know that until you watched their videos. ZING! See, you learned something and you didn't realize it dingo.
***** Yep, Chinese food is pretty simple to make - that's a good thing, right? And p.s.: no bicarb in this one ;)
Hugh Janus Haha thanks Hugh, good point ;)
What does moorish mean?
'Moreish' means something is so yummy that it makes you want more and more of it. Not making this up!! Haha
Thank you!
麻婆豆腐T T
Not that authentic...you should boil the tofu instead of soaking them in and drain them properly. Also add some green onions and chop those black beans...
Then what is the point of making the Chinese food? Western Chinese food? To show how to make fake Chinese food? My cookbooks do better jobs than them.
No thanks.
Who are you to say what to do to a stranger? I like authentic Chinese food, what is wrong with that? I am allowed to voice my opinion just like anyone else, and am I talking to you? It is a viewer's opinion, nothing to do with you. Bug off.
+Ellen W WTF !! WHO ARE U TALKING TO??? U DIDNT EAT YOUR MEDICINE OR WHAT???? AND LASTLY!?!?!?
YOU DONT HAVE ANY VIDS HOW COME U HAVE COOKBOOK TO SHOW TO US
I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND U TALKING TO WHOM
ARGHHH HATER JUST GO AWAY I THINK U SHOULD JUST EAT YOU STUPID RECIPIES LIKE EATING POOP
Like who are you talking to? And who types with all capital case or what? Are you insane? And firstly, I am Asian and I know how to make authentic Chinese dish because I learned it from my mom, so just shut up. I'm not a hater. I can make a comment for a video that sucks. And WTF are you to tell me how to talk and what I say, I can say what ever I want. It wasted my time by watching it. People should not waste time for watching something that sucks. I don't like when someone makes not so Authentic Chinese food and call it Mapo Dofu, that is not Mapo Dofu. It sucks, they should call it Australian Chinese food, not Chinese food. They destroy Chinese food, the video really sucks. So yeah I am entitled to say whatever I want. So go away.
+Ellen W, i agree some part of your comment, although this tofu dish looks very tasty , this is not Mapo tofu at all! this only can be called "spicy bean paste tofu" , because the key ingredient Huajiao 花椒 is missing! where is the "Ma"麻 then ? and honestly you don't really have to response to someone who is acting more hater than you do, when they don't have the heart to listen to other people's voice, it's really unnecessary to waste your time and energy to fight back, just not worth it .
Why is it so hard to get an authentic mapo tofu recipe in English? I especially don't like this channel because they justify their channel by being ethnic Chinese, but their recipes are pretty bad and unauthentic. For example, there is no "ma" in this tofu since they're not using Sichuan peppercorns. Plus, it should be cooked with soft tofu, not firm touf, the texture is completely different. Nobody in China would cook this dish with minced beef, but with minced pork. And the white part of the spring onion should me stir-fried in the beginning with the ginger and garlic.
And no-one uses black beans for this, at least in Sichuan.
Mmmm tofu! *puts minced beef in dish*... Yeah nope..
MjmanDK felt the exact same!
MjmanDK You can just get rid of the minced beef if you don't like it... it'll still be an excellent dish.
tofu tastes like air without some real flavours so yeah... also what +Milan Hung said
There is of course the vegetarian option. ..
MjmanDK No probs, some like it without meat at all. We have some suggestions for variations on our website, if you want to take a peek (bottom of recipe): thedumplingsisters.com/2015/08/08/mapo-tofu/
