Per serving, Mapo Tofu (Sichuan) runs about 58% more expensive in Canada than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Tofu, which is priced noticeably higher in Canada — it accounts for roughly 81% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Thailand — the gap is too large to shrug off.
