Easy Not-Spicy Mapo Tofu
This recipe was born because I was too cheap to buy commercial mapo tofu mix.
In Step 4, it's best to stir-fry the ground meat very well, until the juices that come out of the meat go back into it.
If you want to make it spicier, add sliced red chili pepper to the ground meat at Step 4. Adjust the amount to taste. Recipe by hirokoh

This is a recipe that was in a book my mother brought when she got married. I've modified the recipe so that it's simple to make.If you don't have Tianmianjiang, use red miso. You can prevent the sauce from clumping while you're thickening it if you stop the heat while adding the water-dissolved katakuriko. Mapo tofu in an earthenware keeps the dish hot.

This is chef Kentaro's recipe that I found in a magazine "Orange Page", 10 years ago. I tried this recipe once when my husband and I were still newlyweds, and my husband who loves mapo tofu raved "this is the best mapo tofu I ever had". Since then I have been using this recipe for mapo- tofu. Adjust the spiciness by the amount of the doubanjiang.When you break up the tofu with a wooden spatula, make it into 7-8 big chunks. If you make it too small to begin with, the tofu will lose its shape completely. It'll still be just as tasty even if the tofu is crumbled up. Recipe by micox -
