About Mabo dofu

Mabo Dofu, originating from Sichuan cuisine in China, is a flavorful dish featuring tofu and ground meat simmered in a spicy and savory sauce made from doubanjiang (fermented bean paste), chili oil, soy sauce, and garlic. Often served over rice, it combines bold flavors with soft tofu for a rich and satisfying meal. Nutritionally, tofu provides a good source of plant-based protein, calcium, and iron, making it a healthy ingredient. The dish also includes ground pork or beef, offering additional protein, although the fat content may vary. Its spiciness comes from Sichuan peppercorns and chili, which can help boost metabolism. However, Mabo Dofu can be high in sodium due to the fermented seasoning and soy sauce, and adjustments may be needed for those watching salt intake. Customizing the recipe with leaner meat and reduced sodium options can make it a heartier but more balanced choice.
