Sung Si-kyung's Mapo Tofu Rice Bowl

Cooking tips 💡

• Use soft stewing tofu instead of firm tofu for a much softer, pudding-like interior.
• When coating tofu with starch, if it's too dry the starch won't stick, so drain only lightly.
• When frying the tofu, they may stick together, so gently separate them with chopsticks and cook until the outside is hard.
• For extra spiciness, add more doubanjiang or chili oil; for more umami, increase the oyster sauce ratio.
