Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 piece of northern tofu; 1 pack of Taiwanese XO mapo stir-fry sauce; appropriate amount of olive blended oil; appropriate amount of green onion; appropriate amount of ginger; appropriate amount of garlic. Method and steps: Preparation of ingredients: very simple, just a pack of Taiwanese XO mapo stir-fry sauce and a piece of northern tofu.

   

2. 2 These are the seasonings. Peel, wash and chop the onions, ginger and garlic. I used hairy scallions, which add more flavor to the dish than green onions.

   

3. 3 Step 1: Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot and bring to a boil. Cut the tofu horizontally and vertically, add the tofu cubes and blanch the water. After the water boils, cook for 2-3 minutes. Blanching the tofu can remove the beany smell of the tofu. This piece of tofu is so tender that it breaks into pieces when touched. People living in the north rarely come across such tender tofu.

   

4. 4 Step 2: Add a little oil to the pot, sauté the onions, ginger, and minced garlic, add the mapo stir-fry sauce and stir-fry, or you don’t need to stir-fry, I think stir-frying makes it more fragrant. Add appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil over high heat.

   

5. 5 Step 3: Add the blanched tofu, turn the heat to low and simmer until the soup thickens. Isn't it very simple!

   

6. 6 Take it out of the pan and put it on a plate. It's tender, spicy and fragrant, and it melts in your mouth. It's so delicious, it's just the plate when it's served.
