Ma Po Tofu #2 Preparation
Here is a delicous, spicy recipe for tofu, with Chinese origins. It lends itself to infinite variations, but here”s the basic recipe: In a large skillet, saute ginger, garlic, and scallions in the cooking oil. When garlic is slightly browned, add ground pork, and cook until meat is thoroughly browned. Mix cornstarch in a cup of water, and add to the meat in the skillet. Bring to a simmer. At this point, add the bean sauce, chili sauce, and soy sauce and stir all well. The sauce should just begin to thicken a bit. Finally, add the tofu pieces, and gently stir so it”s well mixed with the sauce. Cover and simmer for 20- 30 minutes. Serve over rice. some variations: -use ground beef or ground turkey, or mix ground meats -use no meat at all, and sautee bell peppers or mushrooms, or other vegetables -use meat and vegetables! -add fresh spicy chiles for an extra zing ABBYK@UCLINK.BERKELEY.EDU (ABBY KAVNER) REC.FOOD.RECIPES From rec.food.cooking archives.
