Authentic Sichuan mapo tofu from the restaurant is always tasty but full of bad oils and leaves you feeling bloated. This is my healthier version with all of the taste but made with organic tofu and good fats. You can make the recipe vegetarian by taking out the pork and oyster sauce and substituting chicken stock with veg stock.

I'm a pharmacist and a foodie. I enjoy trying exotic cuisines and then trying to replicate it at home. I try to cook with healthier ingredients so I can eat more while still maintaining my waistline. I live to eat and exercise so I can eat more!
