Many people like to use beef to make Mapo tofu, but I prefer to use half-lean and half-fat pork. The Mapo tofu meat is more fragrant and oily.
Tofu is one of the most photogenic dishes on my table, because tofu is easy to store and quick to prepare. The most important thing is to serve food very quickly. "

1. Prepare the ingredients, marinate the minced meat with a small amount of salt and light soy sauce for ten minutes

2. Heat the pan with cool oil, add the marinated minced meat and stir fry until the oil is golden brown

3. Add bean paste, spicy sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, chopped green onion, ginger and garlic and stir well

4. Add water and boil

5. Cut the tender tofu into pieces, put it in a boiled pot, and cook over a medium-to-small fire. During this time, use a spatula to push the tofu on the back to prevent the tofu from sticking to the pot.

Tips:
