Spicy mapo tofu

I think I would have liked this better with actual pork as I was unable to get my mushrooms crisp, but otherwise it was a pretty solid dish.  I made it for lunch on Saturday and it was a good meal.


What I liked - I like tofu especially when it's got a nice crisp bite to it. The sauce for the tofu/mushrooms was good but I wish there was a bit more for the rice to soak up.

What I didn't like - The lack of any real veggies (ok I knew going in what was in the recipe but still I am going to complain about it.

My modifications - I didnt use any of the Sichuan peppercorns (but thanks to plated if I did they had already cracked mine) so it wasn't spicy at all (probably should have put a pinch in).

I would give this 3.5 stars, it was good but nothing blew me away about it.
