Mapo tofu is a classic delicacy in Sichuan cuisine. The main raw materials are tofu and yellow beef, chili and Chinese pepper. Mochi comes from Sichuan pepper, and spicy comes from Pixian Doubanjiang. This dish highlights the "spicy" characteristic of Sichuan cuisine. However, unless authentic restaurants, it is difficult to match with yellow beef. Therefore, most of them use pork to "pretend to be a copycat". In fact, as long as you like it, you won't be guilty of using any meat and mapo. Today’s mapo tofu is made with lactone tofu as the main ingredient, which tastes quite good. "
