Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use firm stew tofu rather than soft silken tofu, as it holds its shape better during cooking.
  • When adding the slurry, do not pour it all at once—add gradually while checking the consistency and stirring slowly.
  • Snails become tough if overcooked, so always add them only at the very end, just before turning off the heat, and lightly toss to warm through.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy a unique, chewy texture in their mapo tofu rice bowls.
  • Those looking to create a high-quality one-dish meal in a short amount of time.
