He is very famous in Japan and used to often appeared on TV programs to present Chinese/ Sichuan cuisine to the viewers. I was wondering why I had never eaten it before, then I found out that ebi chili was created by Master Chen Kenmin during the 1950s in Japan. It’s funny that my hometown in Brazil has a lot of Chinese recipes incorporated to local cuisine, but still… the first time that I tried this dish was here in Japan. Sweet, hot and pleasant, it matches greatly with a bowl of rice or potato chips! Prawns in chili sauce, simply known in Japan as “ebi chili”, is a popular item at Chinese restaurants, big supermarket and food corners of department stores in Japan. Iron Chef Chen says he brings the ingredients to a boil and then reduces the to a simmer and cooks the broth for about a half hour.The Sichuan-inspired dish brought by the father of Iron Chef Chen Kenichi, Master Chen Kenmin.

My wife was delighted with the way the dish turned out she pretty much could not tell if it was pork or dark meat turkey in the dish! One other comment: as can be noted, I chose to use ground dark turkey meat, because I was thinking ahead to a time when I might need to make this for friends who can’t have pork. After a few more bites, the szechuan peppercorns started to do their job, and the ‘painful’ bite from the chili’s faded – something which I had been expecting to happen (which I don’t normally get with the local chinese restaurant versions of this dish). The spicy heat was reminiscent of my first experience with the Korean spicy seafood/noodle stew “jambong”.

Upon tasting the finished recipe, my wife and I both agreed that the first couple of bites of the mapo tofu (spooned atop rice) was fiery. lower the heat to medium, and add the starch slurry cook until the mapo tofu thickens add the sake/soy/salt mix, ground szechuan peppercorns, the second 3/4 teaspoon dose of chili oil and then the minced green scallion partsġ6. add the drained tofu, broth and the minced white scallion parts and boil for about 3 or 4 minutes.ġ5. The cooking process went by so fast that I couldn’t get the time to show the wok cooking part of the process!ġ4. I think when I repeat this recipe, I’d combine the tobanjang, tianmianjang, black beans, korean chili and chili oil in one container so they get added all at once. After cooking the ground meat through, I realized that I had to cook and add the seasoning ingredients quickly. Iron Chef Chen indicates that until you get to adding the starch slurry, the cooking heat is high. One of the things I discovered when making this recipe, I observed that I had to add about 2 more oz of liquid by the time I had completely added the first dose of chili oil in order to prevent burning. quickly add, the tobanjang, tianmianjang, black beans, korean chili flake/powder, and the first 3/4 teaspoon does of chili oil Into a hot wok, I added at about three tablespoons of rice oil, then the ground dark turkey meat and stir fried the ground meat until it was cooked through (at high heat).ġ3.

So after a conversation this past week with my wife, I decided to take another crack at the dish, motivated by the fact I had Chen Kenichi’s cookbook. I’ve had mapo tofu at various restaurants in and around the Boston area and always seem to find them disappointing.

I’d been meaning to get back to doing the dish again at full strength, but never seem to find the occasion until this past Saturday. At that time, I had reduced the spiciness down to about 1/8 of what the original recipe specified. I initially made it for my parents with the caveat that I had to tone down the spiciness of the dish for them. A few years ago, I came across Iron Chef Chen’s mapo tofu recipe online at:
