Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat a wok over a low heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and the dried and fresh sliced chillies. Fry gently for around 4-5 minutes until fragrant. Pour the chillies and oil into a small bowl and set aside for later. Add in the other 1 tbsp of oil into the wok and turn the heat up to medium on the hob. Add the ginger, stir fry for a minute then add the garlic and fry for around 20 seconds, ensuring you don't burn it.

Add in the ground pork and break it up into small pieces in the wok. Once it's browned off add the ground Sichuan pepper corns and stir fry for about 15-20 seconds. Next add in the spicy bean paste and the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Mix the cornflour with a tbsp of water and add in to thicken the bubbling sauce.

Take the chillies we cooked earlier in the wok along with the oil were fried in and add it into the pork/sauce mixture. Stir through. Now, add the blocks of tofu. Season with sesame oil and sugar to taste and simmer for around 5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens. Drop in the spring onions in right at the end of cooking, simmer for another 30 seconds then remove from the heat. Serve up and season with a touch more ground Sichuan pepper and extra spring onions if desired. Enjoy! :)

Spicy! Mapo Noodles~ Mapo Tofu Ramen~ Spicy! Mapo Noodles~ Mapo Tofu Ramen~
I loved the mapo tofu from the restaurant near my old company that I used to eat at, but I wasn't able to go there after quitting that company, so I tried making it myself.This is already plenty spicy with doubanjiang, red chili oil, and garlic, so add ichimi chili powder and Sichuan pepper to your preferred spiciness. Use less if you dislike spicy things, and add tons if you love extreme spiciness! Feel free to use bok choy, spinach, or any of your favorite vegetables to replace the komatsuna. For 1 serving.

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 -
Non-spicy Mapo Tofu Non-spicy Mapo Tofu
I know, a Mapo tofu that is not spicy, can it even be called mapo tofu? But when your husband and your toddler don't enjoy spicy food, you make everything not spicy. This recipe probably taste nothing like the infamous Sichuan dish because to be honest, I have not tried the original dish. This is a modification of a few recipe I found around the internet. It's yummy regardless.

Spicy Mapo Tofu (Healthier Version) 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.
