Simple Mapo Tofu
I wanted to make tasty mapo tofu without eady-made sauce mix. After many trials, I finally reached the ultimate best.
Drain the tofu really well.
Break up the tofu when simmering with a wooden spoon so that the tofu absorbs the flavor better.
If you like spicy food increase the dobanjiang. It might be too spicy for children with this amount in the recipe. Adjust the spiciness to your liking. Recipe by Hinanachoko.

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 -

Very Simple Mapo Tofu Very Simple Mapo Tofu
I looked up recipes for this dish in many cook books and simplified it in this recipe.The key to this recipe is the combination of ginger, garlic and Japanese leek. You don't have to follow the exact quantity mentioned here. Use as much as you like. In my case, I usually use a rice bowl's worth of chopped leeks. It's important to season the minced pork first, not to add seasonings at the end. This distributes the flavors throughout the entire dish. Recipe by kou2091 -

Easy and Addictive Mapo Tofu Easy and Addictive Mapo Tofu
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 -
Simple & Spicy Mapo Tofu Simple & Spicy Mapo Tofu
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.
