I swapped the chilli peppers for long hot pepper.
I swapped the doubanjiang for miso paste.
I also swapped pork for chicken (dietary preference).
I also … forgot to buy scallions and now the dish is a really pale tan with no additional colors.

But it’s very tasty! I’ve wanted to try Mapo for years. I have no idea if this is what it’s supposed to taste like but I like it. Next time I’ll try making it closer to the source.
