spicy tofu

Hot bean cheese

Spicy tofu is a dish of bean curd prepared with chili peppers or hot sauce, common in Asian cuisines.

The phrase also describes tofu dishes seasoned with any pungent spices.

Mapo tofu, a Sichuan preparation with fermented bean paste and numbing peppercorns, is perhaps the most famous version: I'll have the spicy tofu with rice.
