Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
When I started cooking experiments in Bordeaux, one of the first things I learned how to make was spicy mapo tofu. Here was my first attempt using ground beef (instead of pork) and garlic chili sauce, without adding the signature numbing Sichuan peppers. Gotta say it turned out a lot better than I had expected, though not super authentic the way Sichuanese people make it. Through many trials it definitely improved after 10+ years!
