Method:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil in a wok and stir-fry the beef mince, stirring with a spatula until the meat is separated and cooked. Remove from the wok and drain in a colander.
2. Reheat the wok and add the remaining sunflower oil. Add the ginger, garlic and chopped spring onions and fry for 2–3 minutes.
3. Return the mince to the wok and combine. Add the chilli bean paste and combine. Pour in the soy sauce and rice wine and cook for 2–3 minutes.
4. Combine the cornflour and stock. Add to the mince mixture to thicken and cook for 2–3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, thin with a little water. Add the tofu and gently stir. Take care, as the tofu is delicate.
5. To serve, place the Ma Po tofu in a serving bowl, garnish with the spring onion and add sesame oil to taste.
