Mapo Tofu Risotto

This one’s for the chilli heads. A creamy risotto with a kick - it's packed with heat, numbing Szechuan peppercorns and the deep, savoury kick of doubanjiang. Using the boiling tofu method, the firm tofu soaks up all that umami rich, spicy flavour. It's comforting and guaranteed to leave your lips tingling in the best way.

Notes

• You can adjust the heat easily, just use less doubanjiang or skip the extra chilli crisp if you prefer it milder. • Doubanjiang can vary in saltiness depending on the brand, so always taste before adding extra salt or soy sauce. • Firm tofu works best here because it holds its shape as it simmers, and absorbs the flavour better, so avoid silken tofu or super-firm tofu. Extra firm would be the next best one if you can't find firm. • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the hob, or in the microwave, with a splash of water to loosen the texture.
