Delicious home version of mapo tofu, easy to learn, under the rice artifact

I think everyone should have eaten mapo tofu, there should be many people will think that he should be a bad dish, but in fact, if you just want to make homemade mapo tofu, it is not difficult at all, today let Xiaobian teach you to cook this homely mapo tofu!

Ingredients: 2 boxes of egg tofu (general tofu is also available), 250 grams of ground meat, 1 garlic (minced), 1 green onion (chopped green onion), 1.5 tbsp watercress paste, a little white powder, a little oil

Cut the tofu into cubes, then heat the oil pan and then put the chopped tofu into the cubes and fry them over low heat. 

Fry until both sides are a little browned and ready to set aside. If you are not very good at turning over the noodles of friends only fried one side is also OK, because the action of frying tofu is mainly to remove excess water in the tofu, which will be better flavored, so even if only one side is fried, it is still effective.

Then put the ground meat into the pot to stir-fry, stir-fry until a little oil can be added to the minced garlic together to stir-fry, this part can basically not be put oil, because the ground meat itself has oil, unless you go to the market to ask the meat stall only to pick lean meat to grind then you need to add a little oil, otherwise the grease of the ground meat itself is enough.

The ground meat is continuously stir-fried until "just right", the more "just" the better, but do not fry it, this part of the principle is the same as fried tofu, all in order to make the ingredients easier to taste.

Then add the fried tofu, (the fried tofu will come out of the water after a period of time, remember to pour the water out and then put it back in the pot.) Then add about 1 1/2 bowls of water~

Immediately after adding water, add 1.5 tbsp of watercress paste, then bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover the pot and simmer for about 15 minutes. (If you try the taste and feel too salty friends can also add a little sugar to adjust the taste)

Before starting the pot, add the green onion to mix a little, and then add a little too white powder after the water is added, for the sake of health, Xiaobian generally only has a thin owe, and then you can start the pot. 

Mapo tofu with full color and flavor is complete, is it not simple? With the addition of 15 minutes of stewing time, this dish should basically be completed in less than 30 minutes from preparation to cooking

In addition to the egg tofu will become more fragrant after frying, after absorbing the flavor and saltiness of the bean paste, the tofu has become more delicious.

The aroma and essence of the ground meat are also fully released into the soup and then absorbed by each ingredient, and the taste of each ingredient blends with each other, which is very delicious.

Salty, fragrant, spicy and enough flavor of mapo tofu, easily can be matched with a large bowl of rice, convenient, fast, low calories and fullness, super suitable for cooking fast dishes after returning home from work Oh ~

Tips to share:

1. It will be easier to use egg tofu to make mapo tofu

2. You can also use general tofu, but in addition to a little less egg flavor, you also need to pay attention to whether there is a boiled flavor

3. After the tofu comes out, it will continue to come out of the water, remember to drain it

4. If you are using general tofu or like the taste a little heavier, you can adjust the amount of watercress sauce to about 2 tablespoons

5. Don't worry about the bean paste being too salty, because tofu will absorb the salty taste, so adding too little will become insufficient taste
