It is said that eating tofu is healthy, but it also depends on how to eat it. After using tofu, frying it, and then coating it with soup, it is delicious with rice, but after all, it is not the healthiest way to eat it after it has been fried. The method of not frying is of course healthier. Apart from home-boiled tofu with cabbage, the most commonly eaten is Mapo Tofu. I have seen a lot of Mapo tofu recipes on the Internet, some of them are very homely, and I can’t talk about authentic Sichuan dishes. I always thought Mapo tofu is a vegetarian dish, but later I learned that the authentic one should be meat. Recently, I learned how to make Mapo tofu with my old lady in Sichuan, which is absolutely authentic. The soup is very tasty, and a bowl of rice is definitely not enough. The tofu is very tender. It's best to use a spoon when you eat it, so that the soup is mixed with the rice, it's so fragrant!
