(Complete Recipe) Mapo Tofu

Mapo Tofu

Ingredients
1-2tbsp Chilli Oil
3 tablespoons ginger, finely minced
3 tablespoons garlic, finely minced
½ cup ground pork (I like to mix with minced prawn)
1-2 tablespoons spicy bean sauce (less if you don’t like it too salty)
Water or chicken broth
1 package silken tofu, cut into cubes
1½ teaspoons Corn Starch
1 large scallion, finely chopped

Heat oil over medium heat, add the ginger. Then add the garlic. Stir 2-3 times, then turn up the heat and add the ground pork. Break up the meat and fry it until it’s cooked through.

Add the spicy bean sauce to the mixture and stir it in well. Add ⅔ cups of water to the wok and stir.

Let this simmer for a minute.

While that's happening, ready your tofu and also put a ¼ cup of water in a small bowl with your corn starch and mix it with a fork, make sure all the clumps are broken up.

Add the cornstarch mixture to your sauce and stir. Let it bubble away until the sauce starts to thicken.

Then add chili oil. Stir the oil into the sauce, and then add the tofu. Use your spatula to gently toss the tofu in the sauce. Let everything cook for 3-5 minutes.

Add the scallions and stir until the scallions are just wilted.
