Cooking Instructions
- 1
Separate the white and green parts of the green onions and slice them. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Cut the firm tofu into bite-sized pieces. Using firm tofu instead of regular tofu ensures it absorbs flavors well and is delicious.

Add sesame oil (not listed in ingredients) to a wok and add the doubanjiang before the oil gets hot. Stir-fry over medium heat to bring out the spiciness of the doubanjiang.
- 4
Once the doubanjiang is fragrant, turn the heat to high and stir-fry the ground meat.
- 5
When the meat is cooked, add the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry together to bring out the aroma.
- 6
Add the firm tofu and the ingredients marked with ★, and mix quickly (the firm tofu won't crumble easily).
- 7
Once everything is mixed, add water and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Finally, add the green parts of the green onions and cook briefly.
- 8
Pour in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce and finish.
- 9
Serve hot and enjoy!

I wanted to use up the firm tofu I had that was nearing its best-by date.You don't need to drain the water from the tofu.

Easy Tofu and Bok Choy Stir Fry with Szechuan Pepper Easy Tofu and Bok Choy Stir Fry with Szechuan Pepper
I really wanted to use Szechuan pepper.Adjust the amount of water depending on the water content of the tofu. If you let the tofu boil, the texture will change for the worse, so be careful. If the tofu falls apart while you're stir-frying it, it's not a problem. The ginger juice added at the end brings the flavors together. You can use dried shrimp instead of the canned scallops. For 4 servings. Recipe by Asamato cookpad.japan -

Ground Meat, Garlic Chives & Bean Sprouts - Spicy Chinese Stir-Fry Ground Meat, Garlic Chives & Bean Sprouts - Spicy Chinese Stir-Fry
I usually just stir fry ground meat and bean sprouts with soy sauce, but Chinese chives are cheap so I arranged the dish as Chinese style. You can eat it with rice and also matches well with beer. It's strongly seasoned so you can pack it in bento. The sugar makes the taste mild.The doubanjiang can burn easily, so turn down the heat a little when you mix in with the meat.Turn the heat level back to high when you add the vegetables because they'll release water!I recommend making it a little spicy to use as a topping for ramen (miso flavor is best). For about 2 servings. Recipe by Kyary nene cookpad.japan -
