1. Tofu tastes tender, smooth and delicate. Mapo tofu should have good taste and texture, and soft tofu such as tender tofu or thousand-layer tofu should be used. Tofu should be complete and chewy, but not too hard.
2. Moderate spicy and rich in flavor. The taste of a good Mapo tofu seasoning should better contrast the umami flavor of tofu, with moderate spicy taste and mellow taste.
3. The stew is just in time. Mapo tofu stew time should not be too long or too short, and it should be properly controlled to keep the taste intact and the tofu fresh and tender.
4. Add side dishes to enrich the taste. You can add minced beef and minced meat to make Mapo tofu more delicious.
In a word, a good Mapo tofu should be tender and delicate, moderately spicy, rich in flavor, stewed at the right time and rich in flavor with side dishes. And these all need the chef's careful production to reach the perfect state.
