Easy! Mapo Tofu with Fried Tofu and Chili Oil

Hearty and filling with fried tofu and ground pork. This dish goes great with rice. You can adjust the spiciness with chili oil, so it's kid-friendly too! Also works well as a mapo rice bowl.

Recipe background:
I had fried tofu, ground pork, and wanted to use up some chili oil. This version was even more popular than regular mapo tofu. The silken-style fried tofu is easy to eat, and I used plenty of ground pork. The mild spiciness was a hit too.
