You probably had Mabo Tofu (also referred as Mapo tofu, or mapa tofu) at a Chinese restaurant. It's a stir fry tofu dish with some spicy sauce and vegetables. Well, there is this instant Mabo tofu sauce which makes it easy to cook, but not that easy because you still have to cook tofu. Well while adding tofu, I thought, "Hmm, since I came this far, why not just add vegetables as well?" In the end, this wasn't instant at all and don't think this is really an instant food. However, the flavor was very good and I recommend this.
I added chili oil to cook the tofu and it goes well with this semi-spicy tofu dish.
Then cook ground beef with chili oil.
Then add mushrooms, and red bell peppers. You can add onions or other stir fry friendly vegetables.
Add the sauce.
Then tofu. Get the "firm" tofu.
I also added snow peas to the mix.
And some chopped green onions.
And it's done!
I put the stuff over a rice and it was quite delicious!
My name is Peter and I created this blog when I was in law school. I did not let the location of where I was going to school determine my fate of being stuck with no Korean food. I drove long distances to buy condiments but was able to get most ingredients from a big American chain supermarket. Previously, I worked at my family's quick service restaurant but without much knowledge in cooking Korean food. Starting this blog, I learned how to make some of my favorite Korean dishes in my apartment. It was fun and not difficult at all so I wanted to share my experience!

VERY PRETTY!! I have a recipe for Mapa Tofu from scratch that I LOVE. You're right - that sauce is just fine. I used to use it but it's cheaper to make you're own once you have the ingredients around. I like your blog... Good stuff.
Hi Captainwow, thanks for visiting my blog! I would love to learn how to create Mapa Tofu from scratch since I'm a poor student! I'm glad you like my blog. Hope it was helpful to you in some way. :)
