Prepare the ingredients at once. The ingredients for 'Mapo tofu [medium spicy]' are 1 tofu, and the ingredients for 'Golden mapo tofu for a limited time' are 1 tofu and green onions. It is said that half of the green onions are needed in the long onions, but this time I used chopped green onions.
First of all, we will make it from 'Golden Mapo Tofu Element' for a limited time. When I opened the package, I found a pouch of seasoning sauce and a small bag of Chinese pepper.
If you cut the tofu into 1.5 cm squares ...
Place in a frying pan with the seasoning sauce.
Next, if you boil it over low to medium heat ...
Add the green onions and simmer for about 2 minutes with light mixing.
Sprinkle with pepper if you like and you're done.
When I ate a bite, the aroma and taste of chicken that I could feel from chicken oil spread in my mouth, and then the spiciness of the pepper gradually began to rise. On the other hand, there is no spiciness of chili peppers, and since it is a light salt base, it makes me feel like 'What is mapo tofu ...', but even people who are not good at spicy tofu have no problem. It was easy to eat because it didn't have the peculiar bitterness of chicken oil. When using Mapo tofu, measuring water or dissolving it in a small container of tofu powder will increase the labor and washing, but for a limited time, 'Golden mapo tofu' contains a seasoning sauce. I felt that it was also a point to be able to make different mapo tofu more easily.
Next, we will make 'Mapo tofu base [medium spicy]'. Inside the package were two sets of mapo tofu and two sets of tofu powder.
After cutting the tofu as before, dissolve the tofu powder well in 2 tablespoons of water ...
Put tofu, 180 ml of water, and mapo tofu in a frying pan.
After boiling over medium heat, turn off the heat ...
Turn in the tromi powder.
Heat it over medium heat again and simmer until it gets simmered.
The finished product looks like this.
When I try to eat it, the tofu with a faint scent of ginger and garlic and the slight spiciness enhance the taste of the chicken, and it has a taste of 'this is mapo tofu to eat at home'. After eating 'Golden Mapo Tofu', the punch feels a little weak, but since it has a stable taste of Mapo Tofu, when you say 'I want to make Mapo Tofu different from usual today', 'Period If you want to eat 'orthodox mapo tofu', it is better to choose 'limited golden mapo tofu', and 'mapo tofu [medium spicy]'.
