Mabo Harusame is a Japanese home-style dish inspired by the Chinese Mapo Tofu. Cooked harusame, clear glass noodles, are served in a mildly spicy Japanese Mabo-style sauce. It’s a Japanese fusion dish and, many of the elements that define traditional Mapo Tofu are not present except Doubanjiang (spicy bean paste). Nonetheless, the spicy and savory flavor of Mabo Harusame complements steamed white rice and has become a beloved everyday dinner dish in Japan.
