Mapo Tofu - ★Cooking Recipes★

Directions for: Mapo Tofu

Ingredients

1/4 to 1/2 cup chicken stock or water

3 Tbsp black bean sauce

2 Tbsp hoisin sauce

1 Tbsp chili sauce (such as Sambal Olek or Sriracha), optional

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

lb(s) ground pork

2 clove garlic, minced

1 inch fresh ginger, finely grated

1 lb(s) medium or firm tofu, diced

1 Tbsp cornstarch whisked with 1/4 cup of cool water

2 green onions, chopped

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk the chicken stock (or water), black bean sauce, hoisin and chili sauce and set aside. Have all of the other ingredients prepared and on hand before you begin cooking.

2. Heat a wok or large skillet on medium high heat and add the oil. Add the ground pork and saut until it is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook one minute more.

3. Add the sauce mixture, bring up to a simmer and stir in the diced tofu, tossing gently but thoroughly to coat. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir in, cooking until the dish fully returns to a simmer. Stir in the green onions and serve immediately.
