MaPo Tofu Sauce (2.8 oz - 12 Pack), Spicy & Savory Flavor, Ready-to-Use Sauce, Perfect for MaPo Tofu, Stir-Frying, Marinades, Noodle & Rice Dishes, & Sauces

I love this sauce. The flavor tastes authentic and bold, with the right balance of heat and numbing spice. It makes mapo tofu easy and comes out tasting like a restaurant dish. The sauce coats everything well and brings a deep savory flavor without needing much extra seasoning. It saves time and delivers consistent results every time. I will keep buying this and always keep it on hand. and i got it on sale super value for the price!

I tried this for convenience when camping and was quite disappointed. Tastes like raw chemicals.

I like it. It's not overly spicy but sweet-leaning. If you can't eat spicy food or cook for children, this is good. Also good value for the price.

For some reason our local favorite Asian grocery store no longer stocks this brand. we anre addicted to this Mapo Dofu seasoning and was so happy to find it on Amazon and ordered several packages. If you like spicy tofu dishes, this seasoning is great! I add a bit of chicken broth to it to tone down the burn a bit, but the flavor is still great! Stir fry the tofu along with desired veggies and/or meat and top with sliced green onion and serve over rice…yum!

This is a very good, inexpensive rendition of the famous "Pockmarked Old Grandma's Tofu" sauce (Ma Po Tofu). It is not very spicy, so if you make yours hot, add some dried red Japanese chilis (in the Mexican foods section of your market in the West) or even red flaked pepper Italian style, to give it some heat. Sriracha works nicely as well. I don't like tofu all that much, so I use diced eggplant, sauteed in oil with garlic and ginger, and then add ground beef (instead of the pork). Very, very tasty!

As a pro Italian/French chef who loves this dish and has prepared it hundreds of time for myself, this is the worst version of ma po that I have ever tasted packaged or not. I have tasted other simple sauces packaged for retail that were at least as good as greasy spoon versions but this is most definitely not one of them. Salty, bitter, it tastes more like pure bean paste than a fully made sauce and I suggest using it this way if you must use it all. Strongly suggest avoiding this one. Ma po is easy enough to make from scratch with just bean paste, chili paste and powder and szechuan peppercorns so I'll try to keep them on hand and look for shortcuts for a quick snack elsewhere.

Excellent and cheaper than my local grocery store

I bought this sauce to make mapo tofu at home, I usually use the house foods brand. This sauce is does not compare to my usual brand. This one has a strong bean taste to it, it has a strange bitterness and it way too salty. Price wise it is way cheaper per a packet, but this is really one of those you pay for what you get situations.

I am a HUGE fan of Lee Kum Kee (try their Chiu Chow Chili oil, the BEST!). But that is a huge disaster. It only tastes super concentrated ginger and it kills your dish. It is not the nice kind of "spicy" you expect, it makes the dish uneatable as it is so gingery in taste (despite no ginger)... worst than biting into a pure piece of ginger as it is like chemical taste ginger. This is because of sichuan peppercorn which is uneatable to me (kills a dish and overpower the whole dish). Avoid at all cost!

A good sauce

This tastes like taking 20 or so peppercorn seeds and crushing them in your mouth. There is only one flavour, and that is burn. Straight to the bin after one bite. This isn't what mapo tofu is like.
