After the authentic Mapo tofu is made, the tofu is very fragrant and tender, tastes very refreshing and super delicious. Prepare half a catty to a catty of tofu, then prepare a large piece of ginger, 5-8 cloves of garlic, a proper amount of edible salt, cooking oil, a spoonful of bean paste, a proper amount of soy sauce, oyster sauce and a bowl of water starch. After these ingredients are ready, we can start processing all kinds of ingredients and making Mapo tofu.

2. Take out the tofu we have prepared and clean it, then drain the water on the surface, then cut the tofu into thick slices, then cut it into small pieces, put the cut tofu in a plate for later use, then take out the ginger and clean it, peel and cut it into pieces, put the chopped ginger in a bowl, peel the garlic and put it in a bowl.

3. After cutting the ginger and garlic, let's cut some shallots and put them on the plate for later use. Next, boil half a pot of boiling water. After the water is boiled, we put a spoonful of edible salt in it, and then put the tofu into the boiled water again, so as to remove the beany smell of the tofu.

Tofu doesn't need to be blanched for a long time, but it takes about two minutes. After two minutes, we took it out of the pot and put it aside. Next, boil the oil, you can put more cooking oil, then heat the cooking oil, add onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

5. After the onion, ginger and garlic are sauteed, we add a spoonful of bean paste, stir-fry its red oil, add appropriate amount of water to boil them, then add appropriate amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce, add tofu, then add appropriate amount of water starch to thicken it, and cook it with high fire until the soup is thick.

6. Use a big fire when cooking soup, so it's easy to make the soup thick. When the soup is thick, we put the chopped green onion in the pot and stir it a little. Decorating it with chopped green onion can make Mapo tofu look more appetizing. You can eat it when it is cooked.
