Ma Po Tofu (Simmered Tofu with Ground Pork)
- add review
- #73031
Tofu isn't just a meat replacement - just take this ma po, where tofu and ground pork work together side by side. Delicious fiery flavor from red pepper flakes and scallions completes this authentic Sichuan dish.

ingredients
2 tablespoons peanut oil or other oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup chopped scallion, green part only
1 cup stock, preferably homemade or water
2 pounds soft or silken tofu, cut into l/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup soy sauce
salt, to taste
minced fresh cilantro leaves for garnish, optional
directions
Put the oil in a deep 12-inch skillet or wok, preferably nonstick, and turn the heat to medium-high. A minute later, add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Cook just until they begin to sizzle, less than a minute.
Add the pork and stir to break it up. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it loses most of its pink color.
Add the scallion and stir, then add the stock. Cook for a minute or so, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon if necessary to loosen any stuck bits of meat, then add the tofu.
Cook, stirring once or twice, until the tofu is heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, taste, and add salt and hot pepper flakes as necessary.
Garnish with the cilantro if you like and serve.
