Here's the MaPo Tofu recipe. I substitute the hot bean paste with sweet chili sauce instead to make it milder.
1 pkg Firm bean curd
Flavor mix:
1 T chopped green onion
1 chopped tsp of each: garlic clove, ginger root
2 oz ground pork
Sauce mix:
1 T hot bean paste
1 T cooking wine
1 1/2 T soy sauce
1 c water, 1/2 tsp salt
Thickening -- mix together
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 T water
1 T fresh garlic or green onion
1) Cut bean curd into 1/2in cubes
2) Heat wok with 3T oil.
Stirfry the Flavor Mix until fragrant; add pork and hot bean paste. Add
Sauce Mix and bean curd. Bring to boil and turn heat to low; cook for 3
min.
3) Add Thickening mix and stir. Sprinkle with garlic or green onion and serve.
