Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Searing the tofu and meat over high heat makes the tofu surface firm and golden, preventing it from breaking apart later when simmering with the sauce.
  • The final addition of black pepper makes a big difference in aroma—don't skip it, and be more generous than usual. That's the secret.
  • For a spicier, more intense kick, try substituting 1 tablespoon of spicy chicken sauce (buldak sauce) for the oyster sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those who love Mapo Tofu style dishes but want to enjoy a twist with western-style savory notes.
  • Those who want to use up leftover store-bought tomato pasta sauce to make a hearty rice accompaniment.
