Tips:
Making this homemade version of Mapo Tofu is relatively simple. The tofu does not need to be fried in water, but there are also some tips:
1. For tofu, choose soft tofu, which has a delicate taste and is easy to taste;
2. The bean paste must be stir-fried and then put in water. This will make it more fragrant and remove some of the irritating taste of the bean curd, making the tofu taste more mellow;
3. Before adding tofu, cook for two minutes to fully stimulate the aroma of ginger, garlic and bean paste, so that the cooked tofu will be more delicious;
4. When thickening, be sure to stir gently, don't stir fry, you can also shake the wok to coat the tofu with the sauce;
5. Sprinkle chopped green onion and pepper powder after serving to the plate, so as to maintain the fragrance of pepper powder~~
