A classic Sichuan dish - silky tofu in a spicy sauce with ground pork. Sichuan peppercorn combines with chili in the distinctive 'ma la' - a numbing and spicy profile. The sauce is based on fermented bean paste and chili, rich in umami. Served with a bowl of hot rice - the essence of home-style Sichuan cuisine.

Cut the tofu into 2cm cubes, blanch in salted water for 2 minutes.
Toast the Sichuan peppercorns in a dry pan, then grind them.
Finely chop the garlic and ginger.
In a wok, fry the meat, breaking it into small pieces.
Add the chili paste, sauté for 1 minute until the oil is colored.
Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and 150ml of water.
Gently add the tofu, simmer for 5 minutes.
Thicken with potato flour mixed with water.
Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with pepper and chives.
Ma Po Tofu is one of the most popular dishes in Sichuan cuisine, and its name literally means 'tofu in sauce with minced meat'.
Serve Ma Po Tofu in deep plates or bowls to keep the sauce. It tastes best with hot rice, and for decoration, use fresh chives and a few slices of chili.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for 1-2 months, and it's best to reheat them in a pan to maintain the texture of the tofu.
