I saw a mapo tofu recipe made on the TV and since it's more delicious than instant store bought mapo tofu, I recreated it at home.

Add the tofu, then the katakuriko + water mixture, and then simmer on high heat. You can adjust the level of spiciness with doubanjiang. Recipe by Mi-go.

Steps

1

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and cook the ground pork over high heat. (cook until the juices run clear).
2

Add the ginger, garlic, doubanjiang, tianmianjiang, and minced leek and stir-fry. (It can burn easily once the paste ingredients are added, so lower the heat to medium).
3

Combine the ● ingredients and add to the pan. Turn the heat to high.
4

Once it boils, add the cut silken tofu and boil over high heat (don't stir it too much). Season with pepper.
5

If you drain the water from the tofu beforehand, the dish won't become watery.
6

Combine the ★ ingredients. Lower the heat to medium and gradually add in the ★ ingredients (※ the tofu will fall apart easily, so stir gently). Let it simmer on high heat for a short time.
7

Drizzle in some sesame oil on the surface of the pan to finish. Arrange in a dish and optionally garnish with green onion or the white section of a leek.

You could also top it with thin slices from the white portion of Japanese leek. It still tastes delicious without it.
