Mapo Tofu is a comforting spicy dish that originated in China’s Sichuan province. Its name loosely translates to Pockmarked Old Woman’s Tofu and points towards the dish’s creator in the city of Chengdu.
The taste of these tacos will transport you to the bustling streets of urban Mexico where you can find vendors next to small carts grilling steak and wrapping slices of it in small corn tortillas with an offering of radishes, onions, salsa or pico de gallo to top it off.
This showstopper of a dish elevates the humble meatball into a glamorous star, bedecked in jewellery!
