mabo doufu

This is a traditional Japanese style mapo tofu recipe - but with a twist! I've added curry powder for a playful, unexpected pop of flavor to this already tasty dish. 

Mapo Curry Tofu (麻婆カレー豆腐️)

water

soy sauce

shaoxing wine

oyster sauce

sugar

chicken stock

potato starch

sesame oil

ground pork, finely chopped mushrooms

thumb size piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced

garlic cloves,

curry powder

block silken tofu (14 ounces), drained

scallions, finely chopped (optional)

Szechuan peppercorns (optional)

Mix the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and whisk until the potato starch has dissolved.

In a wok or large deep pan over medium high heat, add sesame oil and ground pork, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the ground pork is fully cooked.

Add ginger and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute.

When the soup thickens, add the curry powder and tofu cubes. Gently stir so as not to break the tofu.

Turn the heat off, transfer the mapo tofu to a serving bowl and top with scallions and a sprinkle of Szechuan peppercorns.

Serve with short grain Japanese rice. I use Tamanishiki.

I love anything that is hearty and saucy over rice and this recipe hit the spot. The sesame oil gives it great flavor!

Just made this last night using mushrooms and it was delicious!
