I made this flavoring at home, but I wanted to eat it with delicious mapo-tofu.
You don't need the Chinese garlic chives per se, but it's much more aromatic with it!

If your kids are eating this, pay attention to Step 5.
I adjust this part only if my kids are eating this. If it's for adults, make as instructed.
You can also make this up to Step 4 and then save it. Once you're ready to eat it, just start from Step 5! Refrigerate in summer. For serving 4. Recipe by Yokkonkon

Steps

Drain the tofu.

Next, add the meat and stir fry.
4

Add in the ★ ingredients and then skim off any scum that rises.

Add the tofu (pre-cut into bite size pieces), and the Chinese garlic chives. Bring to a boil.
