Mapo tofu in a stone pot
Chen Mapo Tofu on Qinghua Road, in Qingyang, Chengdu, holds a Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide Selection 2027 for Chengdu.
The Michelin inspectors describe a century-old shop said to be the original source of mapo tofu, the dish invented by Lady Chen. Silky tofu, ground beef and spices are cooked in a stone pot that holds the heat, to be eaten with steamed rice. Luxury versions add long-snout catfish or abalone, and lotus leaf-wrapped steamed pork is also recommended.
