Mapo Tofu is a spicy and flavorful Chinese dish that combines soft tofu with ground pork in a spicy sauce. The dish gets its name from the numbing sensation (ma) and spicy (la) flavor that comes from the Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers used in the sauce. The tofu is cooked until it's silky and tender, and then combined with the ground pork and sauce. It's typically served with steamed rice.
