Ajinomoto Cook Do® Cantonese Mapo Tofu Sauce (カントン式麻婆豆腐用) 125g — the milder, more mellow version of mapo tofu sauce. Built on rich oyster sauce for umami depth, with a rounded sweetness that makes this the family-friendly alternative to the fiery Sichuan version. 3–4 servings per pack.
About Ajinomoto

Cantonese vs Sichuan
The Cantonese-style (広東式) mapo tofu is characterised by less heat and no numbing Sichuan pepper, with oyster sauce providing the primary savoury note. The Sichuan-style (四川式) version — sold separately — features doubanjiang and huajiao for pronounced heat and tingle. For a mild, savoury tofu dish suitable for all ages, this is the right pick.
