I had my first experience of Sichuan peppercorns in China and I was 'stunned' by the numbness. Didn't like it at all, but yours look very appetising. If I were to eat this, I'll need to filter out the peppercorns! If you don't us Sichuan peppercorns, the dish won't be authentic at all, right?

Mmm,the photos are making me hungry now. I don't usually put the chilli in so the kids can eat it (so I guess that means I make black-bean tofu ;), but I think next time I'll make some just for the adults and try the added Sichuan pepper.

This is simply irresistible! I can wallop all of these just with a plate of rice. No jokes! ha... Hope you're enjoy your day.
Blessings, Kristy

Hi Rimi, yes you can use corn starch definitely as I mentioned potato starch makes the dish glossier :) But I don't think there's a direct substitute for chilli bean paste, I guess you can try making it without the chilli bean paste, just with the black beans but it won't really be Ma Po dofu but still tasty black beans tofu :D Let me know if you have more questions!
