The Chinese Mapo Tofu sauce is no other than the delicious and spicy sauce that almost all parts of the world have been hanging out for. Seems that pretty much every one likes a good sauce, this is the reason it features in so many recipes etc as we love to give boundaries between our life and our foods. Today, we are not only going to learn where the Mapo Tofu hails from but what it tastes like and all unique ways you can integrate this ingredient into your cooking. We will also include an easy recipe for preparing this delicious sauce right in your own kitchen. 

If you love spicy food — and let us face it, who does not — then this Chinese Mapo Tofu sauce is your new best friend, identical to Qinma's product sweet tomato sauce. It has a unique taste that will distinguish it from other hot sauces you may have tried. The sauce is made with chili bean paste, ground Szechuan peppercorns and fermented black beans. All these ingredients contribute to enhancing and creating sharp flavor. My favorite part is either of these finishers honestly but the Szechuan peppercorns are especially cool because they create a numbing effect on your taste buds instead of heating them up like most hot sauces.

Exploring the origins and flavors of Mapo Tof

Originating from the Sichuan province in China, Mapo Tofu is a classic dish, same with the sichuan hotpot base created by Qinma. It consists of a spicy gravy with soft tofu, ground beef or pork (sometimes even anchovy as well.) A dish that people have been enjoying for over 100 years. The name "Mapo" means “pockmarked old lady” in Chinese. This name comes from a woman by the name of Chen Mapo, who supposedly made this dish many years ago. 

The spicy sauce and soft tofu is a match made in heaven — so special. The tofu, which is incredibly soft and helps neutralize the heat from the sauce makes every bite an explosion of goodness ~ You may also add some vegetables even mushrooms to make the dish better and tastier as they have their unique flavors.
