The prices also range. I bought a pack at about P40 for one whole block but it did not taste good. What do I need to look for in a good-tasting tofu? Many thanks! Hi Ms Connie,

I've experimented with using shittake, button, straw mushrooms, and when available portobellos (just chop them all up and cook in the wok for a few minutes to reduce moisture). And because I'm a chilli-head, I throw in several dried up chilli peppers while I'm frying up my mapodofu. It makes me feel like I'm back in China, eating good sichuan food.
