This is a family treat, one we sometimes take the extra effort to make fresh homemade tofu for because it makes a world of a difference. We use a bit more pork than may be traditional, but it's still tasty anyway. Feel free to mix up the protein ratio, use beef, or leave out pork altogether.

Mapo Tofu Mapo Tofu
I always make mapo dishes, whether it's mapo tofu or mapo eggplant, with this formula. I don't even remember where I learned it first because I've been doing it this way for so long. I use quite a lot of tianmianjiang, so I must have started doing it like this when I won a Chinese flavoring ingredient set in a contest.I use a 500 W microwave oven. This recipe makes 2 servings on the small side. It's a perfect amount to top this over rice. This is the standard in our family, just so you know. For 2 servings. Recipe by Sabumochi

Quick Mapo Tofu Quick Mapo Tofu
I came up with this recipe as I had leftover tofu and mince meat.You didn't have to drain the tofu beforehand. The katakuri potato starch flour is used to make the thick sauce so don't worry about the water. Don't forget to taste before serving. When you need more spice just add more chili powder or shichimi chili powder. If it's too spicy, add honey. This gives mildness to the dish. Recipe by Mrs. marikko -
