Tofu in a garlicky, spicy meat sauce is vey tasty, and it goes very well with Steamed Rice. Mapo tofu (麻婆豆腐, ma po dou fu) is one of the most popular classic Sichuan dishes. It has a spicy, pungent, and appetizing flavor that goes perfectly with steamed rice. Mapo Doufu, or Mabo Tofu (マーボー豆腐) is a popular Chinese dish in Japan.
Steps to make Mabo Dofu:
- In a small bowl mix the water and flour, gradually adding the flour. Be sure that it's not too thin or too thick. Set aside mixture for later. - - Note: It should feel like you've added a bit of water to some honey, still somewhat thick but moves a lot smoother.
- In a pan, add some oil and saute the meat until brown. Season lightly with salt. Add the veggies and cook till soft, then add the tofu last. - - Note: Garlic and spicy pepper should be cooked last among the vegetables to avoid burning.
- Add your seasonings, then the flour-water slurry and mix thoroughly immediately. If it seems like it's too thick, add some water to thin it out. When everything has thickened up nicely and sticks together more or less, it's done! Serve over rice.
- THIS IS NOT A STEP; if you feel that the ingredient list is way too long then just go with a basic mabo dofu recipe using just the ground meat, your choice of veggies and the dashi, soy sauce, sesame oil and salt. That's really all you need, everything else is just my preference, such as the habanero.
