Mapo Doufu

Mapo Doufu is a very popular dish from Sichuan province. It is usually made of tofu and minced meat, but it is also popular among vegans(no meat), because its fantastic taste and smell are from a combination of fermented chilli-beans sauce(Doubanjiang) and Sichuan pepper, so it's not necessary to add minced meat.

When I stayed at Sichuan province , I could enjoy Mapo Doufu almost everyday. Because I could order Vegan Mapo Doufu at the vegan canteens of all temples in Sichuan. It was really delicious and it wasn't too expensive.
