The Devil's Mapo Tofu, A Taste of Sichuan 麻婆豆腐
Mapo Tofu is one of the most popular Chinese Sichuan dishes worldwide, which provides a devilish and pleasing taste!
Ingredienser
- 400 g / 14 oz Firm Tofu
- 1/2 tsk Salt
- 120 g / 4 oz Pork, ground
- 1 Green part of the Green Onion
- 2 Spsk. Chili Bean Sauce
- 3 Dried Long Red Peppers, cut in small pieces
- 1 tsk Sichuan peberkorn
- 200 ml Vand
- 1 tsk Chili-olie
Krydderier
- En knivspids salt
- 1/2 tsk Kyllingebouillon
- 1 tsk Sukker
- 1/2 tsk Mørk sojasovs
Stivelsesvand
- 1/2 Spsk. Majsstivelse
- 1/3 kop / 80 ml vand
Sådan gør du
- Skær tofu i små tern, og læg dem i en skål. Tilsæt salt og varmt vand (90 C). Læg tofuen i blød i 5 minutter, og lad den dryppe af.
- Chop the pork in smaller pieces and use a food processor to help grind the meat (If you buy the ground pork from the supermarket, skip this step.)
- In a frying pan, heat up the oil on medium-high heat. Add the Dried Red Peppers and Sichuan Peppercorns and fry for about 1 minute. Then use a mortar and pestle to grind the peppers. Set aside.
- In a wok, add 1 tbsp of Vegetable Oil on medium-high heat. Then add the Ground Pork and cook for about 2 minutes until the color changes to a light brown.
- Tilsæt chilibønnesaucen, og rør rundt med svinekødet i ca. 30 sekunder, til det er godt dækket.
- Tilsæt vand, og skru ned for varmen til medium-lav. Tilsæt alle krydderier: Salt, kyllingebouillon, sukker og mørk sojasauce. Rør godt rundt.
- Tilsæt tofu, og bland det godt med saucen. Kog tofu'en i ca. 5 minutter ved medium-lav varme.
- I løbet af de 5 minutters kogetid tilsættes 3 spsk stivelsesvand, en skefuld ad gangen hvert 30. sekund.
- Before serving, add the Chili Oil, ground Peppers, and green parts of the Onions for garnish.
Noter
- In traditional Chinese cooking, without a food processor, we normally use two big knifes to chop the meat into ground meat- which sometimes I will do to get in touch with my ancestors and current family members too!
- For a more spicy taste, add one or two tsp of Chili Flakes.
