Mapo tofu has to be in the top 10 dishes of all time, anywhere
At the end, Julia gives Dan the most genuine "well done!" I've seen her give to any of the chefs. You can tell the recipe is delicious and she is really impressed
What is this abomination? How can you call this mapo tofu?
the proper way of making it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpnLLhBVIjk
Thank. You.
mapo tofu should use firm silken, I'm all up for customisation, but this is one of the characteristic ingredients. it won't taste the same without it
that was tofu soup, no mapo tofu. I thought at least there would be a wok, but…
chicken broth? no no no no no…
if you really wanna make that dish… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpnLLhBVIjk
Oof I love this man. Thirst comment for sure
kind of a funny story where the name of the dish originated.
Love your show's. Can you tell me about that knife that young man is using! The one with the oriental markings on the handle! Where he got it, price etc. I know this was an older show, but it just came up about tofu, stuff I've been looking at. Thank's R. Sorensen
Microwave not good. Destroys nutritional value. So stopped watching……..I do not use Microwave
Uncle Roger should roast….I mean review this
This recipe basically won over a lady on our third date. We're married now. True story.

The chili paste they're using isn't exactly at the super market. What's the substitute? Also, the oven he uses for cooking and toasting destroys cell nuclei.
Black beans look croach eggs. Nibble one at a time . Or smash it. Ha ha. Was talking about black beans today
I am preparing this dish this evening for family and friends! I have everything all laid out and measured and can't wait!!!
Super 🥰
I made this tonight and it was delicious. Another amazing recipe from ATK. <3
I'm curious what are people behind them doing?
I grew up in HK. I have my fair share of Chinese food. IMHO your Chinese cooking is right on!
The dried black beans should be soaked in hot water first !
what is gritty in this dish?
Jeez, this is a nauseatingly white approach to this dish. I'm sure it tastes good, but it seems so detached from where mapo tofu comes from that it comes off as disrespectful…
Dan is such a tiny, tiny, thin boi!
not the worst recipe i've seen but definitely not authentic
Chyna guiIty of vlrus. This video succs
calling ingredients "strange" or comparing them to bugs is not the most culturally sensitive…
I'm here because of food wars
Why not use a wok?
this is a terrible recipe
Her doing it worng you are supposed to fry those ingredients one by one, not out them in the blender and make it into a paste
Wtf? U microwave your tofu and green onion?
Why do Americans need to butcher food from other cultures.
I'm an Asian chef! This is tragic!
This woman also said in another video "never use a wok for stir fries!"
This is just like that BBC woman teaching people how to do egg fried rice. I just can't!
Your recipes always call for ingredients that are impossible to find
Fermented tofu in a spicy saucec is awesome too. God i seen that douchi. Tried to get my family to try some, even told them it tastes like cheese, but no go
This is sad. Who in the hell makes Mapo Tofu with Beef??? Should be pork America's Test Kitchen!
I made this with beyond beef crumbles and vegetable stock instead of chicken. . It turned out really, really well.
