The final result.

Last nights Mapo Tofu

@hjl360 love mapo tofu, I don't know why it's not bigger in the UK but you rarely see it over here

[hjl360]

@ChrisC agree! Sichuan food is my favorite but most UK Chinese takeaway is the usual sweet n slop stuff, great to settle the cravings but rarely the real deal.

Jinli in Camden isn't too far for me I've had some great meals there, give it a go if your ever in London, the trotters are

Anyway this is the recipe I used to learn to make it and now do so regularly

Mapo Tofu mentioned - I'm just going to sit and wait until @JoshC and @Ross enter the chat

@hjl360 the first time I made this added way too much Szechuan peppercorn and I could feel my mouth for half the meal. Fully worth it.

[hjl360]

@jordanscollected easy mistake to make!! I usually buy a big bag and they last for best part of a year, losing potency as time goes by and more and more needed in each dish, I have forgotten to adjust quantity when going to a fresh bag before and it can make a meal a bit crazy

[ChrisC]

@hjl360 Ah nice one! Cheers for the recipe

Made Khao Piak Sen tonight, had Laos for this month's cooking challenge, last of the four meals of the month

@Ikeaparty this looks amazing, I don't think I've ever had Laotian food before but I might have to have a google based on this
