One Chinese cuisine I never get tired of eating the simple, spicy mapo tofu. Mapo tofu, also spelled mabo tofu or mapo doufu, is a Sichuan cuisine composed of tofu, chili and bean-based sauce and minced meat. I liked it so much that sometimes, we have this dish at home albeit in a non-spicy form.
Whenever I'm in a Chinese or Chinese-inspired restaurant, the first item I look for is this simple dish. Strangely though, most of the Chinese restaurants I've eaten in do not carry this classic dish in their menus. They do have other tofu-based items in there, but in my opinion, not as good as the mapo tofu.
