Instructions to make Authentic & Easy! Spicy Hot Mapo Tofu
- Drain the tofu in a colander. Combine "B" seasonings. (Weipa doesn't have to be dissolved completely at this point.)
- Put 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (not listed in the ingredients) in a frying pan. Add the "A" seasonings and fry over a low heat to evaporate the excess moisture of doubanjiang. Fry until fragrant without letting it burn.
- Add the minced pork and break it up with a wooden spatula. Cook through over medium heat. After cooking the pork through, add the "B" seasonings and stir well with a wooden spatula until the seasonings are completely dissolved.
- After it comes to a boil, cut the tofu into large bite sizes with a spoon and add to the frying pan. It is better to use a spoon than a knife because it creates a surface that absorbs the sauce better.
- Check the seasoning. If it is too strong, add more Chinese soup stock. Stir carefully without breaking the tofu.
- Continue to cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens (reduced to 2/3). Add katakuriko dissolved in water to thicken the sauce.
- Reduce the sauce well first before adding the katakuriko slurry, otherwise the sauce won't thicken! If it is not thickened enough, add more.
