Gourmet: Mapo Tofu

Ingredients: bean curd, salt, cooking oil, bean paste, pepper, lobster sauce, dried pepper, chicken essence, salt, sugar and starch water.

Methods and steps

1 First, we need to prepare some ingredients in advance. First, we should prepare a piece of tofu, clean it and cut it into small pieces for later use. When buying tofu, we should try to choose older tofu. This kind of tofu is best for cooking. Tofu that is too tender is not suitable for frying, and it is easy to be fried soft and rotten.

2, tofu can be prepared about 200 grams, and then we have to prepare 50 grams of minced beef or minced pork. Then prepare some pickled ginger and pickled pepper and cut them into pieces for later use. Then boil the water in the pot, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, and heat the water in the pot with a big fire.

When the water temperature is heated to the bottom and bubbles appear, we should add the cut tofu to the hot water and turn on a big fire to completely boil the hot water in the pot. Then blanch for another minute, and then take the tofu out of the pot for later use to remove the beany smell of the tofu.

3, hot oil from the pot, add the right amount of cooking oil to the pot, after the oil temperature is 30% hot, first add the prepared minced meat to the hot oil, and stir-fry the water in the minced meat. Then add a spoonful of bean paste to the pot, stir-fry red oil, and then add a proper amount of pepper, lobster sauce and dried Chili to stir-fry the fragrance.

When we can smell the thick smell of fermented soybean, we should add a small bowl of water to the pot. After the fire boils the soup in the pot, we will put all the prepared pickled ginger and pickled pepper into the pot. Then add chicken essence, salt and sugar to the pot to taste and stir well.

4. Next, we will add all the cooked tofu into the pot, turn the fire to a small fire, and let the tofu burn slowly in the pot for 5 minutes, so that we can fully taste the tofu. Remember that the heat should not be too strong, wait for 5 minutes, and then turn the heat to a big fire.

Finally, we should prepare a small bowl of starch water. The prepared starch water should be slowly poured into the pot for three times, and the tofu soup in the pot will thicken, so that it can be eaten out of the pot. The Mapo tofu made in this way tastes fragrant and hemp. Have you learned how to cook super food?
