Difference between Mapo Tofu and Spicy Tofu
What's the difference between Mapo tofu and spicy tofu? My answer is: many friends think that everything with spicy taste belongs to Sichuan cuisine, but it is not. Although spicy tofu has the word spicy, it is a northeast dish, and Mapo tofu is a Sichuan dish. And it is a famous dish in Sichuan cuisine, which is famous all over the country. Although there is only one word difference between Mapo tofu and spicy tofu, there are many differences in making methods and tastes.

In the process of making Mapo tofu, some minced meat will be added and cooked together to improve the delicacy of the dishes. But spicy tofu has no minced meat, which is also the most intuitive way to distinguish. Let's talk about the taste again. Mapo tofu is bright red, full of hemp and delicious. Mapo tofu minced meat is a meat dish, which is more expensive than spicy tofu. And spicy tofu is a vegetarian dish, with deep color, strong spicy taste, delicious and refreshing. Xia will share these two methods of making tofu with friends, so that everyone can better distinguish them.
