Mapo Tofu with Pork is a flavorful dish originating from Sichuan cuisine in China, known for its bold and spicy profile. This dish features soft cubes of tofu simmered in a rich sauce made from fermented bean paste, chili peppers, garlic, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns, which offer a signature numbing spice. Ground pork adds a savory depth and protein content. While the tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein and calcium, the dish can be high in sodium due to the seasoning and sauces. The chili-based ingredients may encourage metabolism and promote heart health for those who enjoy spicy foods in moderation. Typically served over steamed rice, it provides a satisfying meal that balances protein, fats, and carbohydrates. For a healthier version, opt for lean pork and reduce the amount of oil and salt.
