Thank you for watching!! (日本語は下にあります！) This Mapo Tofu is not very spicy. So quite friendly with the people are not good at spicy foods!! If you cannot have even tiny bit of chillies, please use miso instead of the chilli bean sauce!!! I highly recommend to make bigger batches if you serve for more than 2 people. Because it's just so goooooood mate!!!! ご視聴ありがとうございました！！ 今回の麻婆豆腐はあまり辛くないタイプですが、お子さんや辛さに敏感な方は豆板醤の代わりに味噌でぜひ試してみて下さいね！！ 私は両方作って食べてみましたが、どっちも抜群に美味しかったです！ 私の妻は辛い物が徹底的に苦手で、2歳と5歳の娘もいますが、味噌バージョンは皆ばくばく食べてました！！ 是非作ってみてね！
Honestly I don’t understand… How in the world you don’t have more subscribers. I love how you have an amazing attention to detail, it truly is satisfying to me the way you add facts and science in a simple way to explain it all.
It is the youtube algorithm, it hides channels like this one. Unless you find videos like his by chance or a friend recommended them, it is really hard to discover quality content.
Thanks for the kind words guys!!! But I'm glad this channel is growing now 😊 I took 10 month to achieve 1000 subscribers (It was last month) And a month later, I already got 10000!! So I feel like I'm in a dream!! But I'll keep it going!! Thanks for the support guys!!

Hi futsuu03!! I have researched about your question, Shimaya has many type of Dashi power (Includes the one with no MSG), but they all got artificial ingredients. So it's different stuff to real kombu. But it works though!! Doesn't mean serious poison or anything. I understand it's hard to find kombu depending on where you are. So have a look at the ingredients list on your packet to check!!
But it doesn't have to be Japanese brand. I used Korean brand kombu before which I found in a Chinese grocery. And they worked well!! So please remember about it. It might help you !!
Chef can I ask something? Can I instead using finely chopped ginger using ginger extract? The point is to avoid small bits of ginger in the mapo tofu, or it is necessary to have chopped ginger in the dish?
Could you list the song/music in the description? This song and the song in the Oyakodon video is the exact kind of music that I listen to, but I can't find it!
Hi James!! You can use kombu dashi powder or MSG to replace kombu (The dashi powder with bonito flavour isn't suitable for this dish) I attached my recommended brand below for you!👍😉 www.amazon.com/Powder-Vegetarian-English-instructions-packets/dp/B07R1RQXXT
My memories of Japanese cooking are salt, salt, salt. Everything was salty: soy sauce, ramen, even rice balls were salted. I prefer spicy, spicy, spicy foods. The Japanese food was good and I still enjoy ramen, takuwan, and nori. But spicy is better.

今回の麻婆豆腐はあまり辛くないタイプですが、お子さんや辛さに敏感な方は豆板醤の代わりに味噌でぜひ試してみて下さいね！！ 私は両方作って食べてみましたが、どっちも抜群に美味しかったです！
私の妻は辛い物が徹底的に苦手で、2歳と5歳の娘もいますが、味噌バージョンは皆ばくばく食べてました！！ 是非作ってみてね！

This is Fate's Kirei Kotomine's favorite so i got curious and searched it on google to know what's the name of the dish 😁 this looks yummy!
Yorokobe!~❤
Tried the recipe without using oil, sesame oil, and corn starch. Still tastes good. Thank you Chef Labo. Any substitutes for those?
Thanks Edwin!!
Unfortunately there are not many substitute of those😢
But as long as it taste good, I think it's all good mate😎👍
You use "sauce" instead of "source" at 0:50. Not trying to nit-pick tho, just some corrections. Btw, love your cooking style, keep up a good work. ^ ^
Looks wonderful.
Allways thank!
but most american call the green onion instead green shallot.
This was pretty pogger.good job👍
Before use for soup
Kombu it can do other Chef
Thanks for share
Hi chef!
What would you suggest adding to make the mapo tofu spicier for the spice lovers?
Hi Sebastian!!
You can add more Toban Djang!!!
I do need to make more tofu dishes, the only thing I make with it is army stew

Hello Taku-San, thank you very much for the video.
I have question about konbu. I am using Shimaya Konbu Dashi Powder. Is it the same as real Konbu?
Hi futsuu03!!
I have researched about your question,
Shimaya has many type of Dashi power (Includes the one with no MSG), but they all got artificial ingredients. So it's different stuff to real kombu.
But it works though!!
Doesn't mean serious poison or anything.
I understand it's hard to find kombu depending on where you are.
So have a look at the ingredients list on your packet to check!!
@@CHEFSLABO I understand, thank you very much! I will try to find shop that sell konbu in my country :D
But it doesn't have to be Japanese brand.
I used Korean brand kombu before which I found in a Chinese grocery.
And they worked well!!
So please remember about it.
It might help you !!
YOROKOBE SHOUNEN!
Looks amazing 🤤.I was just craving this after watching food wars
👍👍👍 EXCELENT 😋
I know it
Someone will comment "yorokobe" here
wow 😳👍🔪green Onion ，🤤
This is better than the chinese mapo tofu I've watched
Chef can I ask something? Can I instead using finely chopped ginger using ginger extract? The point is to avoid small bits of ginger in the mapo tofu, or it is necessary to have chopped ginger in the dish?
Hi Gilang!!
If you use ginger extract, add it after adding the mince to the pan👍
It'll be no problem😉
@@CHEFSLABO Thank you chef, I’ll take note your advice
Hello from France. Why tofu is pre-boil ? I'm not an expert of tofu that's why I ask. Thank you 😊
Hi!! Boiling tofu keep them firm, so it won't be ended up like puree. And it protects losing moisture when cooking with the meat sauce👍😉
What would be the substitute for dashi in India? Hmmm
Hi Aquasky!!
Please see the description
There is a FAQ section for it 👍
Could you list the song/music in the description? This song and the song in the Oyakodon video is the exact kind of music that I listen to, but I can't find it!
Thank you for the comment MB!!
It's in the description ＦAQ section now!!
And the BGM for the Oyakodon too😉
@@CHEFSLABO Thanks so much!
Ah I really want to cook this, but I can't eat pork. Do you have recommendation on what's the best ingredients to replace it? How about chicken?

Tian mian jang and do ban jang can i replace it with miso?
You can replace Toban Djang but you still need the Tian mian jang Astrid 👍
I love it
Would you recommend Dashi powder for making the stock instead? If so, what brand is good?
Hi James!!
You can use kombu dashi powder or MSG to replace kombu
(The dashi powder with bonito flavour isn't suitable for this dish)
I attached my recommended brand below for you!👍😉

This man loves kombu water.
I can't seem to find Sweetened soy bean paste(Tian mian jiang) anywhere at all, is there a substitute for it?
Hi Fuyuko!!
Unfortunately I don't know about the replacement for this..
But have a look online!!
I think you can find it in there 👍
SO INSPIRING...
Hi VICENTE!!
Thank you for the comment!!!
Hope you Will cook this!!!

I cooked mapo before with fried tofu instead of boiled, it added texture to the dish
can i use red or white onion if i don't have green shallot?
Hi anrie!!
White onion will do the job. No worries😉
Thanks for the comment!!👍
Ryorishu and Mirin is same?
Hi Antonius!!
No It's a different stuff.
Please see the description.
There is a FAQ section for it👍
Thank you for the comment!!😉
is it ok to fry the tofu? to make it a little crispier. 🙄
Hi Don!!
Oh yeah let's have a try!!
Let me know if you got an interesting result!!
Can it be made with sambal instead?
Hi Wafudramon !!
It seems similar but different.
Just like Goat cheese and Mozzarella.

My memories of Japanese cooking are salt, salt, salt. Everything was salty: soy sauce, ramen, even rice balls were salted. I prefer spicy, spicy, spicy foods. The Japanese food was good and I still enjoy ramen, takuwan, and nori. But spicy is better.
