Spicy Mapo Tofu (Healthier Version)

Authentic Sichuan mapo tofu from the restaurant is always tasty but full of bad oils and leaves you feeling bloated. This is my healthier version with all of the taste but made with organic tofu and good fats. You can make the recipe vegetarian by taking out the pork and oyster sauce and substituting chicken stock with veg stock.
