Easy Mapo tofu recipe (original for steemit)

Hi steemit friends,

Mapo tofu is a popular Chinese dish from Sichuan province. You almost can see it in every Chinese restaurant s menu.

It looks hard to make, but actually is quite simple if you know the Asian sauces.. this is my edition of easy mapo tofu recipe

First we need to mince or slice some fresh galic, chilli, ginger . Cut tofu into 2cm cubes,prepare some minced pork or beef,3 tsp corn flour,Chinese Chili oil ,black bean sauce,soysauce and sugar,salts.

Heat up the pan with olive oil , put in chilli , garlic ginger and meat

When meat colour changes, put in tofu

Brown both sides of tofu

Put 1tsp black bean sauce,sugar and Chinese chilli oil, stir fry in low heat

Put a cup of chicken stock(no salt) or water, cook it medium heat until boiled

Pour in corn flour mixture(3tsp cornflour in a cup of water)

Mix everything in circle slowly until it comes to the right consistency .

Mix in chopped spring onions and 1tbs light soysauce

Then it s done! It s best to be served with a bowl of freshly steamed rice

It s actually not as spicy as it looks

My little girl thinks mint is super spicy but she can have a lot of mapo tofu with her rice!
