I was bored at home on weekends and didn’t know what to eat. Mom wanted to eat tofu, so the old cat went to the supermarket downstairs and bought a piece of tofu, so he made this dish: Mapo Tofu

Mapo Tofu

1. First, cut the tofu into dices of the right size

5. Chop the minced meat and put it in a container for later use (it is best to put beef, because there is no beef at home, I had to use pork instead)

6. Add bottom oil to the pan, add minced meat and stir fry until the color turns white

14. Because there is no Pixian bean paste, chili oil, or sesame oil at home; therefore, the color of the dishes does not reach the rosy and shiny feeling, which is a bit regretful!

15. In winter, when the temperature drops, come with a bowl of rice, accompanied by spicy and salty mapo tofu. When you eat it in your stomach, your body will instantly warm up, and you will feel refreshed. It must be very refreshing!
