Everyone has eaten Huang Feihong spicy peanuts, and I was lucky enough to get a box of spicy peanuts from Xinhe Enterprise. After eating the peanuts, it would be a pity to throw away the remaining sesame peppers. This Mapo tofu is made by frying the sesame peppers in the spicy peanuts. The taste is very good, numbing enough, spicy enough, fragrant enough... It's very delicious.
Mapo tofu was created by Liu, the wife of Chen Senfu (commonly known as Chen Fuchun), owner of a small restaurant at Wanfuqiao in the northern suburbs of Chengdu City in the early years of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty. Liu's face has pockmarks and is called Chen Mapo. The roasted tofu she created was called "Chenmapo Tofu", and her restaurant was later called "Chenmapo Tofu Shop".
