Mapo Tofu

Spice Level 4+
The UK's best East Asian Meal Kit

During the Qing Dynasty, a renowned restaurant near the Wanfu Bridge in Chengdu gained widespread acclaim for its unique dish, thanks to the extraordinary culinary skills of the owner's wife—a woman adorned with distinctive freckles on her face. She masterfully prepared tofu with a blend of spices, creating a sensory experience that was simultaneously spicy, numbing, aromatic, and profoundly satisfying. This exceptional dish became known as Mapo Tofu, named after the freckled lady.


The fame of Mapo Tofu quickly spread, drawing numerous patrons to the restaurant solely for the pleasure of indulging in this culinary masterpiece. Its popularity transcended mere gastronomy, earning mentions in various lifestyle literatures of the Qing Dynasty. Eminent personalities of the time even expressed their admiration through poetic verses dedicated to the dish.


Today, Mapo Tofu has transcended its origins and become a star of Sichuan Cuisine, delighting palates worldwide. Its fiery and numbing qualities, coupled with the tantalising aroma emanating from the beef and Sichuan Bean Paste, the velvety texture of the tofu, and the signature Mala sensation derived from Sichuan chilies and peppercorns, make it a truly addictive delicacy. For enthusiasts of Sichuan cuisine, Mapo Tofu stands as an irresistible testament to the rich culinary heritage of the region.
