That was really …

That was really easy to make
I’ll get fat…I’ll …
I’ll get fat…I’ll eat more…if the one who prepared my food is as beautiful as you…inspired to eat..inspired to live…
@goshadowkenny I …
@goshadowkenny I like to use cooking wine and ginger with fish, pork and lamb. I found that cooking wine and ginger help to reduce the fishy/weird taste of meat.
@cookwithkelly lol, …
@cookwithkelly lol, jasmine got OWNED. Notice that all the haters on youtube never have their own videos uploaded.
I’ve tried making mapo tofu too, except I used MUCH less ingredients than your recipe – omitted peppers, ginger, cooking wine, olive oil, Szechuan peppercorn (used black pepper instead). Despite that, it ended up being very tasty!
Could you explain what difference the cooking wine and ginger will bring to the flavour?
@jasmine8021 Why …
@jasmine8021 Why don’t make a video and show us how you do it.
Why use olive oil? …
Why use olive oil? Chinese cooking doesnt use olive oil. Also the bean paste is salty and you add more soy sauce? the szechuan pepper, you have to toast them first to let the natural oil come out and then your crush it.
You are very …
You are very beautiful and I love the way you speak…and thanks for the recipes!
@kucibaba2 there’s …
@kucibaba2 there’s gluten free soy sauce available, but not sure the chilli bean paste, you better check the ingredients on the label. But if you cannot find gluten-free chinese chilli bean paste, you might try use chilli miso(japanese) or the Korean chilli pean paste , they are basically similar.
Very cool,cant wait …
Very cool,cant wait to try this,my laptop started to smell good when the marinated pork hit the pan. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Kelly! I love …
Hi Kelly! I love watching your videos! One thing I’ve been interested in is the “Goji” berry and chicken soup. I think there’s a lot of different ways to make it but can you make a video if you know how to make it?
@cookwithkelly awe …
@cookwithkelly awe thanks, Kelly!!! I wish I had time like you though. :[ School+work is really hard. Make sure to encourage your daughter (one day) to do only 1 thing at a time, not 2 (unless she can handle it) >_<
Yes, I am half Chinese (and speak it too), that;’s why I love your channel!!!!!
@MikisPantry Hey …
@MikisPantry Hey Miki, I just checked your blog out and I love it! You have a lot of great recipes and ideas. I will definitely check back. BTW are you a part of Chinese? Didn’t know that you also speak Cantonese and Mandarin.
That looks pretty …
That looks pretty tasty! :]
@alborzka I made …
@alborzka I made Mapo tofu with “firm” before, and it tasted the same…except softer is slightly juicier, that’s all. :]
@kellyjierecipes …
@kellyjierecipes ooo okay, at least it’s low sodium then, hehe. i don’t have time to read people’s blogs or even write my own. I’m sure it’s lovely though
@MikisPantry Not …
I only use low-sodium soy sauce if you ever check my blog.
@MikisPantry Not really, Miki. It tasted fine because there was alot of tofu
Wow, you put a lot …
Wow, you put a lot of soy sauce in the dish, Kelly! I bet it smells nice though, even if the dish is high sodium >_<
@kucibaba2 It …
@kucibaba2 It should be OK for your 4 and 7 year old if you avoid the dried chili and just use regular bean sauce.
@cookwithkelly They …
@cookwithkelly They are 4 and 7 and the older one was just put on gluten free diet. Thank you for the answer:)
@alborzka I never …
@alborzka I never tried and never had a Mapo tofu with firm tofu, but I think it won’t taste as good as medium firm tofu for this dish. If you ever try, please let me know how that goes.
@kucibaba2 I don’t …
@kucibaba2 I don’t think you can escape soy sauce or bean paste for this dish, otherwise it would be Mapo Tofu any more. Bean paste is the key for this dish, you can use salt as taste if you want to avoid soy sauce. I think this dish might be too spicy for kids. How old are your kids?
Tofu also is a very …
Tofu also is a very good soda kind of food while most people do not know about.
We need to eat …
They help burn fats too. 
We need to eat chilly pepper daily or garlic to eliminate the toxic if you have no time for tea.
I like firm Tofu, …
While when cook, it will turn golden brown like when cooking the balls, then, only need to turn around in time, and enjoy. 
While if you are all veggie lovers, just forget about the meat part, and I am currently love the idea about adding cooked peanuts or other nuts to replace all meat in stead. 
I like firm Tofu, because it taste better. And you will find out it normally sold out quicker than medium and silk soft Tofu too in super market. Why? because it contains more minerals.
I’m gluten free , …
I’m gluten free , can I omit soy sauce and bean paste? What would you substitute it with?
My other question – is this dish to spicy for kids?
