Cooking tips:1. The North tofu is too old and the Japanese tofu is too tender. The South tofu is the best choice; pepper powder is used to mix the hemp flavor, not the pepper seeds, otherwise it will affect the taste; the reason why the dish is thickened twice is that the tofu is easier to come out of the water. Thickening can make the soup more thick. 2. In the process of making Mapo Tofu, in order to make the dishes more delicious, you only need to add Jiale chicken essence when you are ready to leave the pot, which can greatly enhance the flavor and better set off the characteristics of hemp, spicy, hot, fragrant, crisp, tender, fresh and alive. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
