Mapo doufu (Chinese: 麻婆豆腐); pinyin: Mápó dòufu) is a popular Chinese dish from the Szechuan (Sichuan) province.
It is a combination of tofu (bean curd) and meat, usually pork, in a slightly spicy (hot) bean-based sauce, sometimes with other ingredients such as water chestnuts, onions, or wood ear fungus.
True Mapo doufu can be found in selected Szechuan restaurants in the United States and is powerfully spicy with both conventional "heat" spiciness and the characteristic "ma-la" spiciness of Szechuan cuisine.
Dubu (doufu), either plain or sauteed, or a leaf of lettuce may be added, or beef may be substituted with chicken or seafood.
Doufu(豆腐) or bean curd is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks.
Doufu is low in calories, contains beneficial amounts of iron (especially important for women of child bearing age) and has no cholesterol (a risk factor for heart disease).
