Mapo tofu is a popular, spicy Sichuan Chinese dish featuring soft tofu in a savory, oily sauce with minced meat (traditionally beef or pork) and fermented black beans, known for its "numbing" (ma) and spicy (la) flavor from Sichuan peppercorns and chili bean paste (doubanjiang). It's served hot, often over steamed rice, and balances the mildness of the tofu with the intense, complex heat of the sauce.

It sure is HOT and SPICY, @silvertop, and delicious!
