Ma Po Tofu

Sick and tired of that crunchy breaded tofu?  Try this spicy meaty tofu dish.  

What I used

• about 300 grams lean ground pork
• salt and pepper
• 2 packs of tofu, cut into cubes
• 2 packs 80 grams Lee Kum Kee sauce for Ma Po Tofu

What I did

• heated the ground pork and sprinkled some salt and pepper.  I let it cook in its own fat then drained off the liquid.
• carefully stirred in the tofu and the Lee Kum Kee sauce.  Let it simmer on low heat until the sauce thickened

I wasn't sure what Ma Po Tofu tasted like so I didn't add any seasonings.  Mom in law loved it as is.  My husband wanted more meat and suggested that I fry the tofu before mixing it in so it wouldn't be too soft.  He misses the crunchy tofu.  As for me, I found it too spicy and I got more servings of meat than tofu.  I could probably use this as sauce for my spaghetti - minus the tofu though.
