Mapo Tofu at Home
I wanted to eat delicious mapo doufu, so I experimented with the ingredient combinations.
If you don't have sweet chili sauce, you can increase the ketchup to 2 tablespoons, but it will be better with sweet chili sauce.
When you cook the ginger and garlic, if you tilt the frying pan so that you are sort of deep-frying them while stir-frying, they will not burn so easily. This is a trick I learned at an Italian restaurant where I used to work. Recipe by youichie

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the leek, garlic and ginger.
- 2
Combine the ● ingredients.
- 3
Flavor the ground meat with 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce and sake (not listed).
- 4
Heat vegetable oil (not listed) in a frying pan, and stir fry the ginger and garlic, being careful not to let it burn.
- 5
When it is fragrant, add the ground meat, and stir fry until it changes color.
- 6
Add the onion and leek, as well as the doubanjiang. The doubanjiang will spit a bit, so be careful.
- 7
Cut the tofu into bite sized pieces and put on a plate. Microwave without covering for 2 to 3 minutes at 500 W to expel excess water.
- 8
When the onion has softened, add the ● sauce and the tofu, and simmer for a few minutes. While it's simmering, drizzle in the katakuriko slurry. Stir in the Chinese garlic chives, turn off the heat, and it's done.

The next day, the sauce will stiffened up to a meat-miso sauce consistency, so I combined it with rice for mapo fried rice.

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

Mapo Tofu Mapo Tofu
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 with Onions Mapo Tofu with Onions
Before I got married I used to use a commercial mapo tofu mix, but it's surprisingly easy to make this dish from scratch!I used onion instead of leek or green onion since I usually have onion on hand. By combining the regular miso we have in house with doubanjiang and sesame oil, it turns into an authentic Chinese! Delicious even without tianmianjiang.You don't need to drain the water from the tofu. Just cut it up and add to the pan.Once you've put in the tofu, coat it with the sauce by shaking the frying pan so as not to crush the tofu. If you stir fry the onion very well, it will become sweeter. For 3 servings. Recipe by moj -
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
