Sichuan Style Mapo Doufu ( Tofu In Spicy And Bean Sauce) is a spicy bean-based sauce which is a very popular Chinese dish made in the Sichuan province. Typically the tofu is immersed in a thin, oily and spicy based Sichuan sauce. It is then flavored with black bean paste. Traditionally the dish is made with minced meat like pork or beef.

The word "Mapo" comes from a Chinese word in which "Ma" means "Pockmark" and "Po" is a part of the word derived from "PoPo" referring to "Grandma". So, therefore, the dish was introduced by a grandma whose face was pockmarked.

In this recipe we have made the vegetarian version, you can also use other ingredients such as chestnuts and onions.

Serve your tasty and spicy Sichuan Style Mapo Doufu ( Tofu In Spicy And Bean Sauce) along with Dan Dan Noodles to make it a wholesome meal.
