Mapo tofu is made with brine tofu or lactone tofu? Many people make mistakes, so it's no wonder that they are not delicious! Sichuan cuisine can be said to be very popular all over the country. Although my family is an authentic Shandongese, I have a special love for Sichuan cuisine. The spicy flavor of Sichuan cuisine is very special.

Ingredients

600g Tofu
a little Minced Meat
1 tablespoon Peanut Oil
a little Ginger
a little Chopped Green Onions
1/2 pack Spicy Sauce

Mapo Tofu

1. 1 piece of tofu, about 500~600 grams, cut into small cubes of 3 cm square, which is conducive to the taste

2. Cut the green onions into chopped green onions, open the spicy sauce and set aside

3. A little pork belly stuffing, shredded ginger and set aside

4. Put peanut oil in the pan, pour in the minced meat and stir-fry until white, add the chopped green onion, and saute the minced ginger

5. Pour in tofu and stir-fry evenly, pour in 2 tablespoons of water

6. Then pour the spicy sauce

7. Slowly simmer for 2 minutes, turn off the heat and serve

8. Serve directly on the plate. This is the most enjoyable way to eat tofu. It’s simple.

Tips:
1. Tofu is divided into southern tofu and northern tofu. Southern tofu is made with lactones, while northern tofu is made with brine. The taste is slightly different. For this dish, it is better to use brine tofu.

2. This dish is super simple with the spicy sauce that is made of one juice. It doesn't even need to put salt. It is very suitable for kitchen novices who have never cooked.
