📙 THE STORY 📙

Now retired, my dad has over 50 years of experience as a Chinese chef. Everything he makes is SO GOOD. You won't regret trying this amazing Ma Po Tofu recipe (麻婆豆腐)!

Whereas traditional Sichuan cuisine is known for its bold and intense flavors, my dad's version of Mapo Tofu is a gentler version with a nice kick of spice (although you can still turn it up x100 🔥).

This classic Chinese tofu dish hails from Sichuan, at the Chen Xinsheng Eating House in 1862. It quickly developed national acclaim, inspiring generations of chefs to come, and spurring hundreds of variations.

Correction:
At 8m 06s, the correct word for "light taste" is 清淡 chīngdaahm. The graphic has a slightly different connotation.
