@@lookcatchu as a child my favourite was beef and black bean sauce with cashew nuts added and special fried rice for some reason the cashews did something to the meat and sauce making it so good But now my favourite is beef hor fun with added Chinese sausage They say hor fun is the hardest dish to cook and a chef is measured by this dish the Chinese sausage brings it to the next level delicious and fatty
Absolutely brilliant...and such a great production, presentation...and beyond entertaining. I followed your recipe tonight and it was the best Mapo Tofu I've ever had. I did differentiate and had it over rice noodles. Here in Manhattan, Mapo Tofu is $20.00 from a restaurant. Following your recipe, mine came in under $6.00.
I have to cut all my hair off because I inherited the hair from my mum's side I think it's from my Taiwan ancestors traveling to all the islands like Philippines and Indonesia and breeding with the Papua New Guinea people who have similar hair and then spreading out into the islands in the Pacific Ocean But I have not tight curls but waves and thick hair
i didn't notice you cut it till you said something but i did want to ask you last video what your hair routine is because your hair is so black and shiny and looks so healthy
You made a very authentic mapo tofu that is much much better than the one in Chinese restaurant. Great job and recipe. Love your cooking videos very much ❤🥰😘
ASMR THINGS!! Omg I MISSED YOU, I KNEW YOU WOULD COME BACK!!! Isn’t it just the best when the tofu falls apart 😀😀😭😭 thank you for watching :) I’m smiling as I’m reading your kind words !!
Mapo! Where’s my tofu?! That looks so good, I’ve had something similar to it here in L.A. My sister would alway get it and it looked so good so I had to try it. I hope you are doing well Catherine. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
TREMOLUX! awwww thank you, i always gotta get it too at those chinese cafe's, too bad panda express doesn't have it! and yessss im doing fine, BUT BETTER NOW CAUSE OF YOUUUUU
I'm laughing at Bat-cat as he really thought Chef Miku was your son! 🤣 Nice salon skills - your hairdo looks bellissimo! 💯 You could try a pudding basin next time for even more perfect symmetrical results, but be sure to wipe out any hot jam left inside first! Wishing you both a super-exciting week 🍀😸🌈❤
BERTRUMRUMRUM!! Wait why would you be laughing!! Bat-cat is right, I gave birth to Miku! BELLISIMOOOOOO I haven’t heard that would since going to an Italian buffet. BAHAHAHAHA I’m having flashbacks to my bowl hair cut days 😭😭 I hope you and bat-cat have a super EXCITING week as well :)
Bat-cat bet me a zillion chocolate buttons that Miku also has burger, maple syrup and candyfloss DNA. If he's right i'll never hear the end of it and will be paying him back for years! 😲
Mapo, wheres my Tofu!!! A few things about this one I was gonna comment on the hair, but you said not too. Lol Also, I think you could be a drummer if you put your mind to it while you were smashing the numbing little things. Haha. Awesome video! Always looking forward to a lookcatchu video on saturdays! So fun!
XXTARNN!!! BAHAHAHA thank you for following my wishes xD I know you’d have an amazing compliment for me🤣 funny you mention that! I recently bought a drum kit so I’m gonna learn soon :) it was my New Year’s resolution hehe I’ll show yall once I’m not as bad YAYYYYY I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR MESSAGES! Truly makes my day :) have a lovely week!
what did you like better? this or the loco moco boeuf œuf? I don't eat pork but I've always been curious to try this with minced chicken instead of pork. I like the combo of silken tofu with meat. they do a mixed silken tofu with beef gyudon here that I get once a week.
SHRUGS IS BACK!! I think the boeuf oeuf is good for a weeknight meal but the mapo is good for a crazy Saturday night in! GO WILDDDD WITH THE MAPO AHHHHH yes the tofu with the meat is the most fun to eat, ooo chicken would be a good alternative to this! Also much lower in cholesterol xD
Hi Catherine ❤ I haven't tried much tofu before but I eat natto if that's the same This week I have been watching your videos and you would always say how your week was 😂 like in this video I heard a song I really love I don't listen to much music It's called Tyla - water It makes me want to go to the volcanic regions of africa🎉
HI SHAUNNNNNNN i tried natto before and it's not my cup of tea lol you're brave! awww yeah i used to always say that, i should bring it back xD i will give that song a listen!
Mapo! Where's my tofu?! Your Mapo Tofu looks delicious. My life hack is to have a dedicated pepper grinder just for sichuan pepper. I tried mortar and pestle, but it's just too much work. The pepper grinder is more connivent, faster and its output is less gritty / coarse. I like to boil the tofu in lightly salted water, it firms up its protein and it's becoming less fragile.
CRACKALACKING! Omg WHAT WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THIS EARLIER 😭😭 THATS ACTUALLY GENIUS!! Next time be the good fortune teller you are and give me a heads up of any hacks xD OMG I WILL TRY THAT SALTED BOIL WATER HACK
CASPER!!! A hammer would work too! And if you’re allergic to pork then use ground beef!! Actually I believe the original dish used beef but now pork is the most popular option
"Mapo! Where's my tofu?" 😊 I really want to try this, but I am afraid of *ONE TABLESPOON* of red pepper flakes!! 😮😢 Me being a delicate flower & all... 😂 Does it mellow while cooking? Or is that where the numbing effect of the sichuan peppercorn comes in? I am addicted to Lao Gan Ma brand Chili Crisp(on everything!), so maybe I am up for the challenge.
TONY!! Oh yes this is the authentic Sichuan version so you know it’s spicy xD if you’re not as much of a spicy fiend, try halving the measurement!! Also yes the numbing of the peppercorns will cool you down so it’s not as burn your head off spicy xD but yes it is quite spicy!! Lao gan ma is delicious, just wish it was actually spicy 😭❤️❤️
Hi Guys! What's your favourite Chinese dish? ❤
180 likes = Miku gets raspberries 🐶
Mine is Stir-Fried Eggplant!
I love stir-fried eggplant. Sooo yummy. I can’t think of a favorite at the moment.
Definitely Mapo Tofu is one of my favourite Chinese dish 😋😋
@@lookcatchu as a child my favourite was beef and black bean sauce with cashew nuts added and special fried rice for some reason the cashews did something to the meat and sauce making it so good
But now my favourite is beef hor fun with added Chinese sausage
They say hor fun is the hardest dish to cook and a chef is measured by this dish the Chinese sausage brings it to the next level delicious and fatty
Anything spicy

Did you notice that I cut my hair? 😁💇🏻♀
Yes! And it looks great!!
It does look a very tiny amount shorter did you cat it yourself
You need a Mortar and pestle so you can make pesto the best thing ever
I have to cut all my hair off because I inherited the hair from my mum's side I think it's from my Taiwan ancestors traveling to all the islands like Philippines and Indonesia and breeding with the Papua New Guinea people who have similar hair and then spreading out into the islands in the Pacific Ocean

No, but did YOU cut it?
I love your videos , I want to know if you have ever tried Mul-Naengmyeon , I want to know what it taste like //you give the best description of food
Your mandarin’s accent is very good. Love the spicy and delicious of mapo tofu. Great recipes and video ❤👍
Very cute lookcatchu! Sounds delicious
RUDOLFCANLAS!!! awww thank you, i hope you try this yummy tofu dish out one day :)
You made a very authentic mapo tofu that is much much better than the one in Chinese restaurant. Great job and recipe. Love your cooking videos very much ❤🥰😘
DODE thank you! i hope you try it out when you get your hands on some soft tofu!
@@lookcatchu It’s so true that get your hands on the soft tofu is very relaxing and healing. Miku enjoyed the beef patty a lot😋
this looks more simple than I thought I guess im making it this week 😊
PINK TUTU! Yes it might look complicated if you order at the restaurant, but it’s quite simple if you have the peppercorn and dou ban jiang
How you manage to eat such steaming hot food is beyond me.
I love Mapo tofu! One of my favourites
MANGO!! IKR!! It’s the ultimate comfort food, the best rice soaking dish
Looks yummy. BTW, your hair looks great 👍
ANTHONY!! Thank you! I’m proud of cutting my own hair 🤣
"Gorgeous!! I love when it falls apart" at 7:36 had me rolling 🤣
"Mapo! Where's my tofu?"
The entire video was very funny I enjoyed it a lottt!!❤
ASMR THINGS!! Omg I MISSED YOU, I KNEW YOU WOULD COME BACK!!! Isn’t it just the best when the tofu falls apart 😀😀😭😭 thank you for watching :) I’m smiling as I’m reading your kind words !!
Using a rolling pin to smash the peppercorn is so smart, I will use this tip
GIGI! Yes rolling pins are very versatile!!
I’m from the Sichuan Province in China and mapo tofu is my favorite dish from my hometown
LIZZY!!! AHHHHH THATS SO COOL! I wanna visit the Sichuan province since i love spicy food 😍
Your hair looks shiny and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
DENISE!!! AWWW THANK YOUUUUU!! Your hair also looks shiny and beautiful 🥰❤️❤️

Mapo ! Where my Tofu? great vid. looks yummy.
FAVLAMANGGGGGG!!! Thank you hehe try it out sometime!! Have a lovely week my friend!! 😁❤️

Ps: The drumming skills you already showed are good. You looked like you were ready to jam with an amazing drum solo
i agree with the boss smashing idea is way more fun than the mortar and pestle lmao
LEBRON!! Hopefully they’re not watching 👀👀
It looks good, Ill have to try to make it when I have time. My favorite Chinese dish is chop suey. Mapo Where's my tofu!
RICHARD!!! Omg I love chop suey! One of the more healthy Chinese dishes hehe MAPO TOOK OUR TOFUUUUUU
Mapo tofu always seems hard to make cause the flavors are so intense but you made it looks easy 😮
purple wiggle is also my fav
FIGGY!! Ikr? Purple is my fav colour too hehe

Talentless cooking! I’m not quite sure what you’re referring to but yes try it out 😆
i love tofu!
WALTER i present to you, a lifetime supply of tofu *gives you gift certificate*
Hi Catherine ❤ I haven't tried much tofu before but I eat natto if that's the same
This week I have been watching your videos and you would always say how your week was 😂 like in this video
I heard a song I really love I don't listen to much music
It's called Tyla - water
It makes me want to go to the volcanic regions of africa🎉
The singing was perfect
I tried winter melon sugar from Taiwan
HI SHAUNNNNNNN i tried natto before and it's not my cup of tea lol you're brave! awww yeah i used to always say that, i should bring it back xD i will give that song a listen!
AHHH i dont think ive ever tried winter melon sugar, how does it taste?
@@lookcatchu it's ok it smells so so so good when I opened the packet then it just tasted like brown sugar
Mapo, wheres my tofu?? I LOOOOOOVE THIS DISH!
FUZZ!!! YES MAPO TOFU LOVERS UNITE! We need a mapo tofu club
how did Lookcatchu know that mapo tofu is one of my most loved foods 😋😋
POLLY! Of course I know! I saw you eat Mapo tofu last week 🤣
Normally don’t “like” any videos BUT MIKU NEEDS RASPBERRIES
JDAVIS!!! Awwww thank you for contributing to miku’s raspberry fund!

@@lookcatchuDisclaimer, I can't take credit for the boiled tofu hack. I learned that trick from Chen Kenichi (yes, the Iron Chef) XD
I found the ewok but no rolling pin can I use the hammer. What if you're allergic to pork can it be substituted and did you say scabs?
CASPER!!! A hammer would work too! And if you’re allergic to pork then use ground beef!! Actually I believe the original dish used beef but now pork is the most popular option
Great now I have the billy jean song stuck in my head 😭
BILLY JEAN IS NOT MY LOVER 💃
Never knew what mapo tofu meant until now…
and now I cannot unsee it as acne scar tofu 😳
KIM!! BAHAHAHAHA SORRY (not sorry) xD
"Mapo! Where's my tofu?" 😊
