Easy Ma Po Tofu

This dish originates from the Sichuan province of China. This recipe uses Lee Kum Kee Ma Po Tofu sauce for an easy dish you can prepare in about 10 minutes. It has a lovely sichuan pepper flavour, but lacks the fire of traditional Ma Po. You could add some additional sichuan pepper corns and small extra chilli if you like it hotter.

Ingredients

• 500g Pork Mince (traditionally made with pork, but can use chicken if you prefer)
• 1 Tbsp Canola Oil
• 250g Evergreen Silken Tofu (sliced crossways into circles)
• 1 Sachet Lee Kum Kee Ma Po Tofu Sauce
• Shallots (to garnish)

Method

• Stir-fry pork mince in canola oil until cooked through
• Mix contents of Ma Po Tofu sauce through mince
• Add sliced silken tofu and toss gently through the sauce mix
• Garnish with sliced shallots and serve with a side of steamed rice
