Authentic home cooking from Japan, with US measurements. 
Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto-Style Mapo Tofu
This is a Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto-inspired mapo tofu! Spicy and flavorful, just like at the restaurant, but you can make it at home. Unlike basic mapo tofu, this version is quite different and brings that signature Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto taste. Even without tanmen noodles, it's great served over white rice or enjoyed on its own, so I wrote up this recipe for easy home cooking.
