I made mapo tofu based off a Korean vegan recipe. When I first tasted it, it was too 辣 (burning spicy) and not enough 麻 (numbing spicy). I added sichuan peppercorn but messed up because biting into a whole one is going to zap your tastebuds to pieces. Overall, still very good.

I too made devastatingly inedible mapo tofu the first time I made it. I still suffered through two servings of it though.

[MintyJuffowup]

It’s so close to being great and I’ll definitely make it again. Maybe I just need to sprinkle some ground peppercorn next time, or make a peppercorn oil as a finishing drizzle.

[MintyJuffowup]

I am dutifully removing every peppercorn from the pot before @TooManyCookbooks comes home for dinner.

[daphaknee]

are you dutifully putting them all under her pillow

[MintyJuffowup]

We have all wished someone “sweet” dreams before, but what would it mean to wish “麻” dreams?

Ya I think putting the powder on right at the end is key

I’m cooking again and it’s going great. We got the Weekday Vegetarians: Get Simple cookbook and it makes post-work cooking easier on the brain.

We also got an air fryer toaster oven that I initially scoffed at and hated the very idea of it. Now, I’m using it almost every meal because it’s fast and cleaner than pan frying.

i assume this is probably an actual dish as well but i’ve taken to making rouladen into a stew. no fussy wrapping and toothpicks, same flavors. about 1/3 pickle soup, 1/3 beef stew, 1/3 goulash, with fresh spaetzle. next time i’ll do some thickening. or a riff on sauerbraten with gingersnap gravy.
