Chicken Ma Po Tofu
Ben O'DonoghueIngredients:
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 250g beef mince
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Toban Jiang chilli bean paste
- 2 tablespoons dark soy
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
- 2 tablespoons cornflour
- 250ml Massel chicken stock
- 250g silken tofu, diced
- 1 spring onion, sliced on an angle,
To Garnish
- 1–2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, to taste
Method:
- 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.
- Reheat the wok and add the remaining sunflower oil. Add the ginger, garlic and chopped spring onions and fry for 2–3 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- To serve, place the Ma Po tofu in a serving bowl, garnish with the spring onion and add sesame oil to taste.
