Ma Po Tofu


This spicy tofu dish is one of my favourites.

Ingredients:
1 block of tofu (medium firm), cubed
Ground pork/chicken
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 tbsp spicy bean paste
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp black bean paste
Dash of pepper
1 tsp cornstarch + cold water

Stir-fry garlic until fragrant, then add the meat. After it is well-cooked, add in the spicy bean paste, soy sauce and black bean paste. Mix in the tofu. Stir-fry another 2-3 mins and then add in the mixture of cornstarch + water. Voila! (For garnish, add spring onion or parsley on top)

Optional add-ins: Mushrooms, rice wine or leeks might enrich the dish.
