  Mapo doufu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mapo doufu (Chinese: 麻婆豆腐); pinyin: Mápó dòufu) is a popular Chinese dish from the Szechuan (Sichuan) province.
It is a combination of tofu (bean curd) and meat, usually pork, in a slightly spicy (hot) bean-based sauce, sometimes with other ingredients such as water chestnuts, onions, or wood ear fungus.
True Mapo doufu can be found in selected Szechuan restaurants in the United States and is powerfully spicy with both conventional "heat" spiciness and the characteristic "ma-la" spiciness of Szechuan cuisine.

 SICHUAN COOKING, Chengdu Tourist Information and Travel Guide at InfoHub.com
Often present in the same dish, Sichuan cuisine's two most definitive tastes are the manifold flavour - a blend of hot, salty, sweet and sour - and aromatic heat (mala), characterized by the use of spring onions and Sichuan pepper (huajiao, or flower pepper), with its soapy perfume and gum-numbing side-effects.
Typical dishes include hot and sour soup, tangerine chicken - cooked with the slivered, dried peel of local fruit - and mapo dofu, bean curd and minced pork swamped in a chilli sauce.
As in the rest of the country, texture also plays an important role in Sichuanese food, with the emphasis often on a chewy, dry effect, the result of prolonged cooking.

I've apparently been on a big Americanized Chinese food cooking kick the past few days: Mapo dofu, Hot & Sour soup, and beef & broccoli.
They've ranged in their overall quality: the Mapo dofu came out quite decent, the beef & broccoli okay and the hot & sour soup - well, let's just say that I haven't quite got the hang of soups just yet.
I must say that it was really rather interesting to taste all three dishes in a distinctly homemade style (read: fresh ingredients).
