Have loved the stuff since my first flatmate showed how you could make a whole pack taste like bacon-worked for my first year apprentice food budget.
Many moons later I lived in Taiwan for a couple of years and a fellow kiwi took me to a local hole in the wall takeaway that sold what he described as the "crack cocaine of tofu"https://thewoksoflife.com/ma-po-tofu-real-deal/ I have never tried to make it at home but it is now how i judge a Chinese restaurant.
If only crazy hippies hadn't somehow introduced tofu to NZ as a shitty meat replacement, rather than the veggie it is
