मा पो टोफू, or Mapo Tofu, is a popular dish from Sichuan cuisine in China. It features soft tofu cooked in a spicy sauce made from doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste), minced meat (usually pork or beef), and various spices. The dish is known for its bold flavors and numbing heat, often enhanced by the use of Sichuan peppercorns. Traditionally served over rice, मा पो टोफू is both comforting and satisfying. It is a staple in many Chinese households and restaurants, celebrated for its balance of textures and flavors. The dish can be easily adapted to suit vegetarian diets by omitting meat and using plant-based alternatives.
