Chinese Pork with Tofu (Mapo Dofu)

I have my own recipe for mapo dofu, but this is Chinese chef Mr Chen's original recipe - it's so much better and more delicious!

Recipe By: Tobuchan (https://cookbuzz.com/kitchen/25)
Serves 2 Prep: 10 min Cook: 10 min

Ingredients

Minced pork 150g
Tofu 1
Spring onions 2
Seasonings:
Chinese chilli bean sauce 1 tbsp
Sweet soybean sauce (tenmenjiang) 1 tbsp
Salted black soybean sauce (douchi) 1 tsp
Chilli powder 1 tsp
Garlic 1 tsp
Vegetable oil 2 tbsp
Chicken stock 180ml
Sake 1 tbsp
Soy sauce 1 tbsp
Salt & pepper a little
Potato starch in water as required
Chilli oil as you like
Vegetable oil 1 tsp
Sansho pepper powder as required

Method

1
Mix all the seasoning ingredients (from chilli bean sauce to chopped garlic) together in a bowl.
2
Cut the tofu into 36 pieces and put into boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes.
3
In the meantime, heat a frying pan and add the vegetable oil. Fry the minced pork on high heat until browned and separate. Add the seasonings from Step 1 when you see the fat run clear.
4
Stir everything together well in the pan to get extra flavour out of the soybean sauces.
5
Add the chcken stock. When the tofu is bubbling away in the boiling water, scoop out and add to the frying pan.
6
Add the sake, soy sauce and season with salt & pepper. Add the finely chopped spring onions.
7
Turn the heat off and add the potato starch in water a bit at a time to thicken the sauce. Add the chilli oil here if you like and 1 tsp vegetable oil.
8
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the sansho pepper powder before serving.

Tips & Note

●If you don't have sweet soybean paste, use red miso
●When you boil the tofu in salted water, it will become spongier and absorb more flavours but don't overboil or it will be too firm
