Mapo Tofu
Raw
mapotofu.txt
Ingredients
1 block silken tofu (19 oz)
1/4 lb ground pork
3 tablespoons sichuan spicy bean paste 辣豆瓣酱
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 tablespoons chili oil
1 tablespoon sichuan peppercorns, roasted and ground to powder
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon fermented black beans (rinsed and pounded)
2 stalks leeks or scallions, chopped into 1 or 2-inch length
2 gloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup water
Salt to taste
Instructions
Cut the tofu into small pieces, drain the water from the tofu and set aside.
Heat up a wok and pour in the cooking oil and chili oil.
Add the chopped garlic, ground pork, spicy bean paste and stir-fry until the pork is half-done.
Then add in chili powder, soy sauce, fermented black beans and stir-fry until aromatic.
Add in the tofu and water; stir gently to blend the tofu (do your best not break them too much) well with the sauce.
Lower the heat and simmer for about 3-5 mins or until the sauce thickens.
Add in the roasted Sichuan peppercorn powder and chopped scallions. Gently stir and blend well. Dish out and serve hot.
