    Chinese Mapo Tofu

    Sichuan Spicy Tofu with Minced Pork

    Chinese Mapo Tofu is a bold and fiery Sichuan classic, known for its silky tofu, richly spiced minced pork and signature numbing heat from Sichuan peppercorns. This Chinese Mapo Tofu recipe follows the traditional layering method, building flavour from fermented black beans, chilli bean sauce and aromatics before gently braising delicate tofu in a deeply savoury red sauce.

    Mapo Tofu originates from Sichuan province and is famous for its “mala” profile, meaning spicy and numbing. The key is cooking the pork and spices first to create a powerful base, then folding the tofu in gently at the very end so it holds its shape while absorbing flavour.

    School of Wok Guide: Deep Frying

    Deep frying is one of the most important techniques in Chinese cooking, but it's not simply about cooking food in hot oil. The key is understanding heat control. Different foods require different frying temperatures, and adjusting the heat during cooking creates crisp, non-greasy results while ensuring thicker ingredients cook all the way through.

    Szechuan Style Aubergine

    Szechuan Eggplant

    Sichuan Style Aubergine, also known as Szechuan Eggplant, is a bold, sweet and savoury vegetarian dish built around caramelised chilli bean sauce, hoisin and soy. This Sichuan Style Aubergine recipe focuses on technique, showing you how to cook aubergine so it becomes soft and meaty without turning greasy.

    Unlike many takeaway versions that rely on deep frying, this method lightly coats the aubergine in oil before searing it in a hot pan, much like cooking a steak. The result is beautifully charred edges, a tender interior and a sticky, glossy sauce that clings to every piece.
