There are few things I love more than a hot, steaming bowl of spicy, Sichuan Mapo Tofu.  I always knew when my dad was making mapo tofu because the smell of fresh popping peppercorns would cause a coughing fit in our household.  Mapo tofu is a Chinese comfort food composed primarily of ground pork, soft [...]
