This classic Sichuan tofu dish is a hot global sensation—here’s a rough idea how that happened
xianis a key element to making the dish, as is a final dusting of ground Sichuan peppercorn. Aside from that, using soft tofu is texturally ideal, and the traditional meat that is used for the dish is ground beef—although you will find versions throughout China and beyond that are made with ground pork instead.
The dish is comprised mostly of tofu, with meat used as more or less a flavoring agent . This makes it flexible for vegetarian adaptations, however, as the ground meat can easily be swapped out for some minced mushrooms. Just don’t skip the essential Sichuan seasonings that give mapo tofu its signature sting. “You can’t say it’s mapo tofu if you don’t have chile bean paste and Sichuan pepper,” says Dunlop. Gao agrees.
