Mapo Tofu

6. Add warm water, boil, add a little cooking wine, light soy sauce and sugar to taste.

7. Remove the tofu cubes and put them in the pot, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

8. When the soup is boiled and reduced, add pepper noodles and an appropriate amount of water starch to thicken, pour in sesame oil, and slurp for a while.

Tips:
1. The choice of tofu-tofu with southern tofu or lactone tofu tastes the best, but it should be soaked in salt water for a while before being put into the pot, and the tofu should be boiled over low heat to ensure that the tofu is not broken.
2. The choice of minced meat-authentic Mapo tofu uses minced beef, but minced pork can be used in the homemade method.
