Mapo tofu is spicy tofu and pork stew that is savoury, spicy, and umami flavour, the ultimate rice killer 😋

Every family has its variations of Mapo Tofu. For example, u can substitute ground pork with chicken or beef. In this recipe, I made this Mapo Tofu with Salmon. To make it vegetarian friendly, u can substitute the meat with shiitake mushrooms.

The most crucial part of Mapo Tofu is a good fermented chilli bean paste - La Doubanjiang. This item is a “must have” in Chinese and Taiwanese recipes. U can find it in local Asian Supermarket or u can also order it on Amazon.
