Mabo Tofu

I am showing both the cheater recipe and the full recipe.  We prefer the cheater recipe.  This is not a dish to miss out on.

Cheater Recipe:
Cook-Do MaboTofu Sauce Packet
Firm Tofu (cut into small cubes with knife)
1/4 cup chopped Green onion
1/4 lb ground pork

1. Brown the pork over med-high heat.
2. Add Tofu and Mabo Tofu Sauce- heat through.
3. Garnish with green onion.

Making your own Mabo Tofu sauce:
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp grated fresh Ginger (or 1-2 tsp powdered)
3 Garlic cloves, minced (about 1 1/2 tsp Garlic)
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Fish sauce or Oyster sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth (or Dashi broth)
1 Tbsp Corn Starch
**optional 1 tsp- 1 Tbsp Hot chili sauce
** optional 1 tsp- 1 Tbsp Black Bean paste

1. Mix this all together & use it in place of the packet used in the above recipe.

Serve over Rice.
Enjoy!
