This is a great Chinese recipe. I love this dish - you can control the spice by varying the cayenne. I hope you like it as much as I do.

I wasn't a big fan of this Ma Po Tofu. The tofu was a bit too soft for my liking and the sauce was a bit too salty.

This Ma Po Tofu was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. The tofu was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.
