Ma Po Tofu - Ma Po Dofu
A famous Szechuan recipe - the name Ma Po Tofu is roughly translated as "pockmarked grandmother beancurd," named for the old woman who supposedly invented the dish Ingredients: 3 cakes regular tofu (medium firmness) 1/4 pound ground pork 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp salted black beans 1 Tbsp chili paste 3 Tbsp stock (chicken broth) 1 leek or 3 green onions Freshly ground Szechuan pepper Marinade: 1 1/2 Tbsp tapioca starch 2 tablespoon soy sauce Mixtu 1 Tbsp cornstarch 2 Tbsp water 2 Tbsp soy sauce Oil for stir-frying Directions: Mix marinade ingredients. Marinate pork for about 20 minutes. Cut the bean curd into 1/2 inch (1 cm) square cubes, and blanch (drop into boiling water) for 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from boiling water and drain. Chop leeks or green onions into short lengths. Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add the marinated pork. Stir-fry pork until the color darkens. Add salt and stir. Add the salted black beans. Mash the beans with a cooking ladle until they blend in well with the meat. Add the chili paste, then the stock, bean curd, and leek or green onions. Turn down the heat. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes. While cooking, mix cornstarch, water, and soy sauce together. Add to wok and stir gently. Serve with freshly ground Szechuan pepper. ~~ MySpace URL: http://www.myspace.com/duckie067 |
