Light & Savory Salt Mapo Tofu Recipe by キャラメリーナ
This recipe is translated from Cookpad Japan. See original: あっさり＊塩麻婆豆腐 Light & Savory Salt Mapo Tofu Cooking Instructions 1 Mince the garlic and ginger. Break the dried red chili into 2-3 pieces. If you like it spicier, slice the chili into thin rounds. 2 Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and chili from step 1, and gently cook until fragrant. 3 Once aromatic, add the ground meat and cook until crumbly. Then add the water, chicken bouillon powder, salt, and black pepper. 4 When it comes to a boil, add the tofu (cut into cubes) and leafy greens (cut into bite-sized pieces). Let it simmer briefly. 5 Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens, then turn off the heat. For extra aroma, drizzle in a few more drops of sesame oil just before turning off the heat. 6 [Leafy green variations from everyone] Try bean sprouts, green onions, garlic chives, carrots, bok choy, turnip greens, or spinach. 7 Mangoari adds the chili at the end so it's mild enough for kids—thank you! 8 Tom-chan's wife serves this over fried rice for a delicious rice bowl—great idea! 9 In June 2009, this recipe won a snack award in the Suntory Plum Wine Contest. 1 Mince the garlic and ginger.
