Tips: Tofu can break apart if stirred too vigorously for too long, so shake the pan or gently lift the bottom with a spatula as you mix.
Tips: When packing it, let the rice and mapo tofu cool completely to reduce condensation.
Tips: Add Sichuan pepper a little at a time near the end so it’s easier to adjust the numbing aroma.
