Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

450 g soft tofu ( ,I am using Szechuan tender lushui tofu)
100 g minced meat-beef or pork
1/2 tbsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. cooking oil ( , divided)
1.5 tbsp. Doubanjiang ( ,roughly chopped)
1/2 tbsp. fermented black beans ( ,also known as dou-chi and fermented soya beans, roughly chopped)
1 tbsp. pepper flakes or powder ( ,optional)
1/2 tbsp. Sichuan pepper for making fresh ground powder
water or broth for braising ( ,I use 400ml this time)
1 tbsp. light soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar ( ,optional for reducing the spiciness)
2 scallion whites ( ,finely chopped)
4 garlic greens or scallion greens ( ,finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves ( ,finely chopped)
5 ginger slices ( ,finely minced (around 1 teaspoon))
2 and 1/2 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
steamed rice for serving

Steps:

  • Add a small pinch of salt and ground pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  • Cut tofu into square cubes (around 2cms). Bring a large amount of water to a boil and then add a pinch of salt. Slide the tofu in and cook for 1 minute. Move out and drain. This helps to remove the raw soy flavor form tofu.
  • Get a wok and heat up around 2 tablespoons of oil, fry the minced meat until crispy. Transfer out and leave the oil in.
  • Add another 1 tablespoon of vegetable cooking oil and fry doubanjiang for 1 minute over slow fire until the red turns red (bring us a lovely red color dish) and add fermented black beans, garlic, scallion white and ginger, cook for 30 seconds until aroma. Optionally mix pepper flakes in. Pepper flakes should be added at the end because it contains little water and can be burnt easily.
  • Pour in water or stock. Add light soy sauce, sugar and half of the cooked beef (providing more flavors to the soup) after the broth boils and let it continue simmering for 2-3 minutes. Place the tofu in, simmer for another 6-8 minutes. The longer time of simmering helps the tofu to absorb the flavors.
  • During the process of simmering, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2.5 tablespoons of water in a small bowl to make water starch. Stir the water starch and then pour half of the mixture to the simmering pot. Back push and wait for around 30 seconds and then pour the other half. You can slightly taste the tofu and add pinch of salt if not salty enough. Add cooked beef to creates some crispy texture and then drizzle sesame oil. Mix well.
  • Transfer out when almost all the seasonings stick to tofu cubes. Sprinkle Szechuan peppercorn powder (to taste)and chopped garlic greens if using.
  • Serve immediately with steamed rice.

MAPO TOFU



Mapo Tofu image

This spicy, aromatic Sichuan dish is recognizable from the citrus aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and the spicy fermented flavor of hot bean sauce. According to legend, Mapo Tofu (Pock-Marked Grandma's Tofu) was named after an old Chinese woman who served the dish to her restaurant guests. She became known for it and people began referring to the dish as the pock-marked woman's tofu.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons whole Sichuan peppercorns
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons hot bean paste (such as toban djan)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons hot sesame oil or hot chile oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
One 1-inch piece of ginger, finely chopped
2 tablespoon salted fermented black beans, rinsed and finely chopped
1 pound ground pork
One 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained, patted dry, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and light green parts only
5 cups steamed jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a wok over medium-high heat and toast the Sichuan peppercorns until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Remove from heat and transfer the peppercorns to a bowl to cool. Coarsely grind the peppercorns in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle and set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken broth, hot bean paste, cornstarch, hot sesame oil, soy sauce and sugar; set aside.
  • Heat the wok over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil, garlic, ginger and fermented black beans and cook until fragrant, stirring often, about 10 seconds. Add the ground pork and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat with a wooden spatula or spoon, until it is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. (Lower the heat to medium if the garlic starts to burn.) Add the reserved ground peppercorns, the tofu and the soy sauce mixture. Cook, stirring once to combine, until the sauce is reduced, thickened and glossy, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with the scallions. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.

VEGAN MAPO TOFU



Vegan Mapo Tofu image

Mapo tofu is a justly popular menu item in many Chinese restaurants. It is a quickly cooked dish of braised tofu with minced pork (sometimes beef) in a bracing spicy sauce made with fermented black beans and fermented broad bean paste, along with hot red pepper and Sichuan pepper. This meatless version with fresh shiitake mushrooms is completely satisfying, and surprisingly easy to make. For the best texture, use soft tofu rather than firm, taking care to cook it gently to keep it from crumbling.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces shiitake mushrooms
2 cups water
15 ounce block of soft tofu (do not use silken)
Salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 small dried hot red peppers
1 tablespoon fermented black beans, rinsed
1 tablespoon fermented spicy broad bean paste (doubanjiang)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon finely ground Sichuan pepper
1 tablespoon corn- or potato starch, dissolved in 3 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup slivered scallions, both white and green parts
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Remove stems from mushrooms. Make a light mushroom broth by simmering stems in 2 cups water for 15 minutes, then strain and reserve broth (discard stems). Dice mushroom caps and set aside.
  • Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes. Cover with boiling salted water, let steep for 15 minutes, then drain.
  • Put oil in a wok or wide skillet over medium heat. Add red peppers, black beans and bean paste and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add garlic and ginger and let sizzle, then add mushrooms, soy sauce, sesame oil and Sichuan pepper. Add 1 1/2 cups mushroom broth and cook mixture gently for 2 minutes.
  • Carefully add tofu cubes. Shake pan to distribute sauce, using a wooden spoon to help. Try to avoid smashing tofu. Drizzle in cornstarch mixture, gently swirling pan to incorporate (sauce will thicken) and simmer tofu in sauce for 2 minutes more. Thin with a little mushroom broth if necessary. Transfer to a low bowl or platter. Sprinkle with scallions and cilantro sprigs.

MAPO TOFU



Mapo tofu image

Even if you're not keen on tofu, give this mapo tofu a go. It's hot and really strongly flavoured thanks to chilli bean paste, fermented black beans and more

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

450g tofu
3 tbsp groundnut oil
100g pork mince
2 tbsp Sichuan chilli bean paste
1½ tbsp fermented black beans , rinsed (optional, available from souschef.co.uk)
2cm piece ginger peeled and finely chopped
3 garlic cloves , chopped
200ml light chicken stock or water
1 tsp cornflour , mixed with 1 tbsp water
6 spring onions , sliced on the diagonal
1 tbsp Sichuan chilli oil (optional)
½ tsp Sichuan peppercorns , crushed
cooked white rice , to serve

Steps:

  • Get all the ingredients ready before you start cooking and set them out in bowls. Drain the tofu and cut it into 1.5cm cubes. Put it in a bowl and cover with very hot water. Leave this while you get on with everything else.
  • Heat a wok and pour in the groundnut oil. Get this really hot and fry the pork until it's crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon but leave the oil behind.
  • Add the bean paste and cook, stirring for a few mins until fragrant, then add the black beans, ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring, for a min or so, then add the stock and let it bubble away.
  • Stir the cornflour and water into the mixture in the wok, drain the tofu and stir it into the sauce. Tip in the spring onions and the mince.
  • Add the chilli oil, if using, and sprinkle over the Sichuan peppercorns. The sauce shouldn't need seasoning with salt, as many of the ingredients are salty already. Serve with boiled white rice.
