Vegan Recipe: Veganized Mapo Tofu

Now Mapo Tofu conventionally has meat but for vegan recipe I'm just going to skip that.

Ingredients

• 5 Tbsp Toban Djan*
• 1 block Tofu chopped
• 1 Green Onion diced
• 1 cup diced Onion
• 2 cups of water
• 1/3 cup water + 3 Tbsp starch powder
• 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
• More veggies and stuff**

* If you don't have one, mix 3 Tbsp red pepper paste, 1 Tbsp soy bean paste, 1~2 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp (or more depending on how salty you want) soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar

**Use whatever you have, I like to use eggplant and mushroom

Medium heat, oil in pan, cook green onion and onion (and additional veggies).

Add Toban Djan or the alternative mixture and stir.

Pour 2 cups of water and wait until it boils.

When it's boiling add tofu, and boil for a while so water evaporates.

Add the water+starch mixture slowly, adjust the amount depending on how viscous you want it.

Finally add sesame oil.


It's great when paired with rice or noodles! :D
