Hi Marion, Wow that looks amazing. I wanted to ask, I normally try not to use peppercorns. I do love the taste, but there always seems to be some small hard crunchy bits in the dish I’m using it with. Is it the way I’m grinding the peppercorns or is it normal I have crunchy bits when eating meals with peppercorns? 🧡
As a Sichuanese, I've made thousands of times of Mapo Tofu at home...but never tried to get it to go with NOODLES!!! Love your idea. Definitely gonna try!!!
I have never made mapo tofu at home, and I wanted to try it on noodles, so Google showed me this video! I had mapo tofu in the restaurant many times, and it was usually eaten with rice. 😀
Great recipe! As someone who grew up in Sichuan I can say that this one hits most of the points of a traditional Mapo tofu. One suggestion I have is to sprinkle the Sichuan pepper corn powder in the end after the dish is done rather than during cooking. The aromatic component of Sichuan pepper corn is highly volatile and can easily evaporate during cooking.
I love the subtle "cheering crowd" sound effect dubbed in at strategic moments in the video (like when the pork mince is add to the hot wok). It's silly fun, and just one of the numerous creative production values that make Marion's vids stand out from her Y/T competitors (peers?). Keep up the great work, guys and gals! 👏
@@Marionskitchen your garlic butter pasta sauce recipe is my favorite recipe !!! Love so much with my boyfriend 😍😍😍 !!! I do it almost 3-4 times a month. I really like your concept of cooking with products from different culinary cultures😁 I'm an Asian who lives in the French countryside and it's sometimes hard to find Asian foods 😭 Thank you so much🥰 !!!
This looks like I need to make a trip to the Asian store to buy the paste. Yum. But the sound of a knife making cuts of tofu on a glass plate puts my teeth on edge!
I made this. At first I thought the ground toasted sichuan peppercorns at the end might be too much for me but everything balanced out beautifully! love it, thanks for the YUM!
Having this tonight Marion - even went out of my way to get the Sichuan "husks" and the Doubanjiang sauce. Love your presentation style and love the way you get those noodles into your mouth without a problem.....thanks for another great recipe - I "know" it will be delish.
My mouth just waters at all your dishes, but like you I just love the chilli and noodle dishes 🤤 Tonight though I’m making your lemon ramen, and I will be adding the chilli seasoning.. 😋 yummmm Love your videos/recipes Marion.... Thank you 🤗
To be fair Marion, I get that sensory satisfaction from cutting flan, or even crumbly pastries. With smoothly textured foods it's the slide across the surface with very little give, but with anything delicate it's also soo satisfying to see visual proof one's dexterity to cut and divide something that could *spectacularly* fall apart in that process. It's one of life's little pleasures. 😊
Tried so many of Marion’s noodles recipes and it always taste super good! 😋 Definitely gonna try making this delicious looking spicy mapo tofu noodles!! 🤤🤤
I have done this before using your mapo tofu recipe then instead of having it with rice, me & hubby had a yummy bowl of egg noodles tossed in yum!!!😋😋😋
You are soooo analytical :) wonderfully analytical! Passionate as you engineer your dishes. You are a food Architect! And again with those Fabulous earrings you wear as your signature... your costing me money!
I'm a simple person Marion. I see mapo tofu, I click. Also fun fact: my dogs name is Tofu, so...... I guess I'm eating my dog's cousins, idk. Have a grand ol day. 🙂
Omg, cant wait to make this. Of course i will replace the ground pork with chicken. This morning i made the kimchi recipe from your channel, my husband is loving it despite the fire effect afterwards.. 🤣
Can’t wait to try this. I have always loved Mapo Tofu. I was wondering how you serve dumplings to your children? What sauce do you use if any? I absolutely love your dishes, but I often wonder how you serve them to your own children or if you make them espérate dishes altogether. Thanks again for the lovely recipe! Jenn
@@Marionskitchen right?! If you want an awesome side dish and have never done this before, you should try just a regular cube of silken tofu with a small bit of soy sauce on top. Lol it's so simple yet so good and one of mine and my boyfriends favorite sides!!
Hi Marion! Love your videos! Just had a quick question regarding the recipe. The written recipe calls for corn flour and water slurry, but I noticed it’s not featured in the video. Just wondering if it makes a big difference or not in the final product? Thanks in advance!
Some Japanese Tofu in that omg would be perfect. Hey Marion show us how to make Japanese Tofu at home #Lockdown here in 🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺 And recipe with the Japanese Tofu, like a spicy one 🔥
Hi Marion, you didn't show when to add the cornflour mixed with water. The recipe says after the sauce has thickened. Just thought I would let you know

Oh man!!! Look at that ruby red sheen 🔥 awesome idea Marion ☺️
I gotta try your vegan Mapo Tofu recipe one of these days. I always wondered what it would have been like making it without meat.

I’ve seen almost all of her videos and if shes wearing white, she’s gonna cook dangerous saucy dishes like this one :D
LOL. David you know me too well!!!!
Marion has the confidence we are all aiming for this year in that white top with spicy red noodles 🍝 🔥
Just what I needed, another spicy recipe. You're the best Marion
She’s the best

Enjoy watching your cooking videos Marion
I've decided Marion must have magic powers to keep her shirts white while cooking super saucy bright red dishes

Thanks for making more Mapo Tofu dishes. It's my fave and this one looks delish.

Looks so good
I have always had it with jasmine rice, never thought about udon noodles. Gotta try it now!
I’ve gotten those black seeds to germinate. I’m going to try to grow a prickly ash shrub.
I love maps, even wondered if it would work with noodles,
My mouth just waters at all your dishes, but like you I just love the chilli and noodle dishes 🤤
Tonight though I’m making your lemon ramen, and I will be adding the chilli seasoning.. 😋 yummmm

Aaaaaah I'm glad someone else feels the same way!
My mouth literally watered
Happiness is watching her smile ❤️love you dear 😍😘
This looks incredible. I would add just a bit of starch to thicken the sauce and give it that silky sheen texture.
Such a fabulous recipe Marion
Wow yummy nice preparation

Check out that Damascus steel knife. Very nice! Also, mapo tofu is one of my favorite things, so I'm very happy for this recipe. :)
But she is using it against ceramic. NOOOO! Only cut against wood with a good knife.
And I'm watching this while waiting for my cup noodles to "cook". 😫😄
another good cooking channel.. u so chill marion. love it 🙂
Thanks so much for the recipe!It never occurred to me to mix meat and tofu. I’ve been trying to find tofu recipes my family will eat.
#1 go to for Asian delish!! ❤

Ma po tofu is one of my absolute favourites. Adding this to the list
Mouth mouth watering

Kuga Terunori is coming to steal this recipe.
God I LOVE silken tofu. This looks amazing 😍😍
Me too!!!! So underrated as an ingredient!
@@Marionskitchen right?! If you want an awesome side dish and have never done this before, you should try just a regular cube of silken tofu with a small bit of soy sauce on top. Lol it's so simple yet so good and one of mine and my boyfriends favorite sides!!
Just made it, it’s so good. Used minced chicken instead

Looks amazing!!!!!!
Can you please tell me what your wok is?
Wow i love that tofu, marion
Thanks for the recipe, it heat up my day
My pleasure 😊
Watching this while eating mapo tofu noodles and dumplings 🤭
Wooow amazing 💐💐👍👍👍
I loved
That look delicious sweet and spicy
Thank you.
I've been reading, saving and trying your rxs for quite some time and i have questions on how to clean your mortar and pestle.
Please enlighten me.
Yum!
@5:30 You’re not alone Marion!! 😜
Watching from Malaysia
Hi Marion! Love your videos! Just had a quick question regarding the recipe. The written recipe calls for corn flour and water slurry, but I noticed it’s not featured in the video. Just wondering if it makes a big difference or not in the final product? Thanks in advance!
Yummy
I’ve never had tofu before but this makes me want to give it a try 😂
There are so many different ones with different textures. It's pretty crazy lol.
I wish I would be allowed to cook this dish. It looks fantastic. You talk about a PG version, but I would need a -G version to get away with this!
"you can find "toban jian" online"... or... in Vancouver :)
Some Japanese Tofu in that omg would be perfect. Hey Marion show us how to make Japanese Tofu at home #Lockdown here in 🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺 And recipe with the Japanese Tofu, like a spicy one 🔥
I'm starving now 😭😭😭
Did anyone else get nervous watching Marion slurp the noodles whilst wearing white?! Just me? 😅
Hi Marion, you didn't show when to add the cornflour mixed with water. The recipe says after the sauce has thickened. Just thought I would let you know
Is doubanjiang similar to gochujang? They're both fermented chili pastes, right?
Pretty different I believe. No beans in the gochujang.
The Korean version, mapadubu, uses gochujang - it is pretty different though. Check out Maangchi's recipe on here. And, in fact, gochujang does sort of contain beans - fermented soybean paste (whereas doubanjiang is broad beans). Doubanjiang is a lot oilier and more meaty tasting, and IMO it's a defining ingredient of the dish/without a substitute
@@danielboyle2554 Ah interesting, thank you! I was just curious because gochujang is easier to find in my local stores. But I'll have to order doubanjiang if I decide to try this dish!
I'm a hugeeee fan Marion ❤❤ have a quick question - how's that Asian cooking does not involve using salt ? I've always been curious
The fish sauce has saltiness and I believe some of the other components (bean paste, etc) have salt added.
Are Chinese salted beans different from any other kind in the Asian markets.
