I’ve already extolled the virtues of mapo tofu in the recent past, but did you know that there are variations on mapo tofu? Although my favorite will always be the classic mapo tofu, the version made with eggplant, called mapo nasu, is seriously delicious! Eggplant replaces the tofu in this version of the Japanified Chinese […]
