Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes. Chop the green onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Once the pork is browned, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onion (reserve some green onion for garnish). Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Tofu and Sauces

    Gently fold in the cubed tofu. Add the miso paste, soy sauce, and doubanjiang. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this into the skillet and stir to thicken the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Mabo Tofu over cooked rice and garnish with reserved green onions.
