Vegetarian Mapo Tofu
This **Spicy Tofu with Vegetarian Bean Sticks** is a bold and aromatic Sichuan-inspired dish that’s packed with flavor and texture. Tender tofu cubes are blanched to remove any beany taste, then simmered in a rich, spicy sauce made with **Pixian bean paste**, soy sauce, and a hint of Sichuan pepper oil for that signature numbing heat. The **vegetarian bean sticks** add a satisfying chewiness, while dried red chilies, black sesame, and fresh ginger infuse the dish with deep, fragrant notes. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh coriander and a glossy starch-thickened sauce, this dish is irresistibly savory with just the right kick. Perfect served over steamed rice, it’s a quick yet impressive meal that brings restaurant-quality spice to your table in minutes!
