Mapo doufu (mapo tofu), is a popular Chine dish from China's Sichuan province. It is a combination of tofu t in a spicy chili- and bean-bad sauce, typically a thin, oily, and bright red suspension, and often cooked with douchi (fermented black beans) and minced meat, usually pork or beef. Variations exist with other ingredients such as water chestnuts, onions, other vegetables, or wood ear fungus.
"Ma" stands for "mazi" (Chine: mázi, 麻子) which means pockmarks. "Po" is the first syllable of "popo" (Chine: 婆婆, pópo) which means an old woman or grandma. Hence, mapo is an old woman who face is pockmarked. It is thus sometimes translated as "pockmarked grandma's beancurd".
According to Mrs. Chiang's Szechwan Cookbook: "Eugene Wu, the Librarian of the Harvard Yenching Library, grew up in Chengdu and claims that as a schoolboy he ud to eat Pock-Marked Ma's Bean Curd or mapo doufu, at a restaurant run by the original Pock-Marked Ma herlf. One ordered by weight, specifying how many grams of bean curd and meat, and the rving would be weighed out and cooked as the diner watched. It arrived at the table fresh, fragrant, and so spicy hot, or la, that it actually caud sweat to break out."
Nowadays, "Mapo Dofu" restaurants open at veral locations in Chengdu, with one on Xiyulong St. and another near the Qingyang Gong Temple to rve the best version. In 2005, the restaurant near Qingyang Gong Temple was burned down in a fire.
