Mapo Tofu
1.
2.
Pick up the impurity of the pepper, remove the remaining pepper, and stir-fry in a pan with a slight heat for fragrant and crispy
3.
After cooling down, pour into the stone pound into powder
4.
The following sieving steps are not necessary. Generally, it is better to make pepper and salt again, which has a finer taste. Ordinary pepper noodles can also be used directly.
5.
The small pottery bowl contains the finer salt and pepper, and the salt is completely pounded into a fine powder.
6.
Chop the bean paste and tempeh with a thin knife before using, and cut the garlic into small sections for later use.
7.
After washing the beef, it’s best to chop it by hand (I chopped the fat and thin separately at first, and then mixed it to feel better)
8.
Cut the tofu into 1.6 cm cubes, add cold water to the pot, add half a teaspoon of salt, and heat
9.
Boil on high heat to just before boiling (about 80 degrees), turn off the heat, remove and set aside
10.
Add a little more oil to the pot (you can add some pepper oil in this step for Xima), add the ground beef, stir the meat on a low heat, stir the meat to the side of the pot, stir-fry the watercress with the remaining oil sauce
11.
Stir fry until the watercress is fragrant and crisp, from a slightly sticky pan to a non-stick pan, add the tempeh
12.
Add chili noodles and green onion, ginger and garlic
13.
Continue to stir-fry and mix with minced meat and stir well
14.
Cook in a little cooking wine and soy sauce
15.
Turn to high heat and stir fry for aroma, pour in broth or water
16.
Add tofu after boiling over high heat
17.
Bring to a boil again, turn to low heat and simmer for 3 minutes
18.
Pour part of the water starch in two times. After each addition, use the back of a shovel to gently move the soup to make the juice evenly mixed, but do not damage the tofu
19.
Add garlic sprouts after the juice is broken, then pour in the remaining water starch, turn it evenly and turn off the heat
20.
Pour the tofu and the soup into the container, sprinkle a layer of freshly pounded pepper powder on the surface, and you're done
