Homemade Mapo Tofu - dad had to make a less spicy version for me cause ya girl got GI issues 🥲but the recipe below is for the “normal” spice level

**Ingredients**
- 20-25 oz silken tofu, cubed (drained)
- 1 tsp salt (for boiling tofu)
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 7g fermented black beans, soaked in water first & minced
- 2 dried whole red peppers
- 2 tsp red chili powder (depending on spice level, I did 1)
- 1.5-2 tbsp doubanjiang / chili bean sauce (depending on spice level)
- 225g ground pork (or beef)
- 2 tsp chili oil
- 1 cup (~236 ml) of water or chicken stock
- 15g soy sauce
- 7g chicken bouillon powder
- 14g sugar
- 15g cornstarch (adjust if needed - add more if you want thicker sauce)
- 45ml (3 tbsp) water (for corn starch slurry)
- 2 tsp dark soy sauce
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1-2 tsp sesame oil
traditional mapo tofu recipes have Sichuan peppercorns for that “numbing” spiciness so you can add some at your own risk 🌶️🥲 but too spicy for us so we didn’t include!!
---

**Instructions**
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1 tsp salt. Gently add the cubed tofu and simmer 2–3 minutes. Drain carefully and set aside.
2. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or pan over medium heat. Add garlic and fermented black beans. Stir until fragrant, then add dried red peppers, red chili powder, and doubanjiang. Cook until aromatic, make sure not to burn.
3. Add ground pork. Break it up and cook until no longer pink. Stir in chili oil.
4. Pour in chicken stock, soy sauce, chicken bouillon powder, and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Carefully slide in the tofu and gently stir. Simmer 5–7 minutes so the tofu absorbs the sauce.
6. Mix cornstarch with water. Slowly pour into the pan while stirring gently until thickened. You can add more cornstarch + water if you prefer a thicker consistency. Add dark soy sauce for color.
7. Turn off the heat and stir in scallions and sesame oil. Serve over rice.

I asked my dad if I could film some of his cooking cause everything he makes is so delicious! (and also so we could spend more time together). He came back with a fresh haircut just for this 🥹 Will be posting more exact recipe measurements soon 🫡

This is the first of many so follow along for more 🤎

is there such thing as too much food? not in Japan 😩🍣🍢 — Tsukiji’s Outer Market is for sure touristy but imo it’s pretty worth visiting especially for new visitors and if you go EARLY before long lines form 😌 some stalls are mid though 😩
