Mapo tofu instructions
- Coated your tofu lightly with corn flour then leave them aside. On medium heat non stick pan, add vegetable cooking oil in. Once your oil hot add tofu in and leave them cook for 5 min (don’t try to turn at this point) once you see tofu crisp up at the bottom you can start to turn them over and this is help tofu not get stuck on the pan and come off easily..
- Cook for another 5-8 min on the other side and remove you tofu on a plate lay with kitchen towel..
- Same pan, add garlic, stir well then add mince beef, soysauce, grated ginger, spicy bean paste, sugar and chilli oil..
