2024.05.14 23:22 Newtsaet La Belle Tonki's Ma-Po Tofu Poutine
Okay, so hear me out before typing an offended response ; submitted by Newtsaet to recipescopycat [link] [comments] I live in Montreal and there's a restaurant here called la Belle Tonki that made a Ma-Po Tofu Poutine during Poutine Week (a yearly celebration of poutine in which restaurants create new, funky recipes of poutine). I think they won last year with their kimchi poutine which I didn't try, so this year I went and tried the ma-po one, being a big fan of the original sichuanese dish. It was good as far as poutine goes, but for something "ma-po", it was very disappointing. Nothing close to the classic mala taste that I was yearning for. For context, I come from Singapore and near my auntie's place there's a chinese restaurant that makes probably one of the best ma-po doufu of chinatown, if not the whole planet. Their sauce is spicy, numbing, and fragrant with huge undertones of ginger and chili bean. The La Belle Tonki ma-po tofu poutine was nowhere near close to that, tasting more like a regular, american-style ma-po laddered onto fries and cheese instsead of rice, and that was about it. So I tried to make my own version of the fusion dish myself. Here is my first try : First, knife-cut fries. The potatoes I had where small yellow baby potatoes, so I cut them in wedges instead of sticks. Boil them for 5 minutes in water, then mix with a bit of oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder and then 400F in the air-fryer for 15 minutes. Alternatively, i guess you could do 20 minutes in the oven too. Ma-po : so there's a lot of different takes on ma-po. Each chinese auntie and grandma will have her own recipe, with sligh variations. But basically, you need doubanjiang (è±çŁé ±), that we find under the name pixian douban in Canada, sometimes labeled as "Chili red bean paste" or something like that. If you can, avoid the Lee Kum Kee one. it's personal preference but I don't find it as good as other brands. You also absolutely need sichuan peppercorn. I think it was missing in the Belle Tonki's recipe, which is unfortunate because I can't imagine ma-po without those. You then need ground pork, garlic and ginger. For the "poutine" side of the dish, you need cheese curds (I actually have no idea what kind of cheese it is. Here in Canada you can buy a bag of cheese curds in every convenience store, but I guess if you need a sub, then any kind of hard, white cheese could do the job), and for the gravy I actually use a mix of tahini with a reduction of beef stock. Finely chop garlic and ginger and set aside. In a pot of boiling water, add 1 tbsp of white vinegar and your tofu. Now the kind of tofu here depends on taste, but traditional (to my knowledge) are usually silken tofu or soft-medium tofu. You can cut it in cubes before the boiling too. The vinegar helps keep the tofu and prevent it from breaking, while also getting rid of the soury taste when it comes out of its water. I boil the tofu for 10 minutes on medium heat, and then strain and cover in cold water until I add it to the dish. In your wok, high heat and go in with 1 tbsp of sichuan peppercorn (or according to your own taste. I like it very peppery). when it starts to smell like heaven and the peppercorns leave behind small splatters of oil you can put in a mortar and coarsely pound. In the wok again, put 1 tbsp of neutral-tasting oil (I use peanut oil), then fry a small amount of ground pork (not really weighing my own portions since I eat alone, but my guess is it's rougly 90-110grams) until it releases its fat (around 6 minutes). Then go in with the garlic and ginger until fragrant (1-2 minutes). At this point I like to add some chinese cooking wine (shaoxing) but I guess it can be skipped if you don't have that in your pantry. When the pork is cooked (and the wine eventually reduced), push it on the side of the wok and in the fat go in with 1 tbsp of doubanjiang (careful for the splatter, the red stains might be hard to remove!) and your grounded sichuan peppercorn. Fry for half-a-minute then combine with the meat, and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Reduce, and when there's only like 1 to 2 tbsp of sauce left you can add your tofu and continue to cook for 5 minutes, at that point you can turn off the heat. Now, assembly. Get your fries in a bowl, sprinkle cheese curds on top. For the sauce/gravy, that's where I differ from the traditional poutine gravy. I put 1/2 tbsp of tahini in a bowl, along with one clove of grated garlic, a spoon of chili oil and a spoon of sesame oil, then 1/4 cup of beef bouillon (concentrated ? reduced ? I don't really know the exact name). And then 1 teaspoon of sugar and mix well. When pour your sauce onto the fries, and finish with the mapo and a lethal quantity of green onions. Et voilĂ ! A fusion dish that actually got me very skeptic at first when I heard about it, and while it was disappointing in the restaurant as I said, it was interesting enough to make me try to copycat it. For those who went along until the end, thanks for reading and I hope this little story got you at least entertained, if not interested in trying this out for yourselves :) PS: on my picture, there's a little bit too much sauce. It drowned the mapo a bit, so next time I'll put in a bit less sauce (I actually made more than what I indicated in the recipe). Also this picture sucks. I don't know how to properly photograph food https://preview.redd.it/w6yfc28ohg0d1.jpg?width=809&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdee3674a2c0d2bd8aeef653e3ecc0347e14a397 PPS: also does anyone know if it's authorized to post a link to this post in montreal or other subreddits? Wanted to share this recipe with Montreal's foodie community, but because it is a copycat recipe from a restaurant I thought it fits better here first. |
