do you have a recipe to share?
We followed the recipe
Woks of Life Mapo Tofu with a less oil, plus onion and other veggies. We like to grind the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle, then add them to the oil at the beginning of the cooking, leaving them in the dish. We like the tingle from this process.
