In reply to Daisy Johnson. Either is fine, although I use Korean soy sauce for Korean cooking.

Do I use Korean soy sauce or Kikkoman?

In reply to Nancy. I generally use potato starch, but either one is fine.

Hi! What kind of starches you use in mapo tofu? Is it potato or corn starch or other things?

Thank you

This dish was delicious. I used Impossible Burger for the beef and it turned out great. Served it with a shiitake mushroom banchan I’d made previously: tasted even better together. I recommend adding some mushrooms!

Hi Hyosun,

Thank you for this recipe! I have been trying difference mapo tofu recipes and this is the best! I omitted gochugaru and gochujang because of my 3 year old son and it was a hit! Will add this on to my favourites!

I’ve made several versions of Mapo Tofu at home before (including Chinese and Japanese versions) and this is by far the nicest! I was afraid it would be too hot for me, but it was just right. No other recipes added capsicum, which I always did. I’m glad to see it’s not just me who adds them! Thank you for another great recipe.

Thanks! I substituted the meat with minced quorn, and added some Si Chuan pepper. Really helped elevate the dish!
