Sichuan Mapo Tofu
I absolutely love this spicy recipe, it’s like crack where I can’t help but to keep going back for another spoonful despite the pain from the Ma-La. Ma-La is a both numbing and spicy sensation that comes from sichuan peppercorns.
It doesn’t look particularly impressive, but it’s one of my top favorite comfort foods.
