Cooking tips

  • Tofu tends to break easily during cooking, so use firm frying tofu and handle it as gently as possible after placing it in the pot to keep its shape intact.
  • If chili oil is unavailable, substitute with 1 tablespoon of regular vegetable oil for a clean, light sauté.
  • The rich umami of oyster sauce combined with the spicy kick of doubanjiang delivers both the essence of mapo tofu and classic tofu stew in one nutritious side dish.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to move beyond ordinary soy sauce-based tofu stew and enjoy a spicier, Chinese-inspired twist.
  • People who want to savor the rich, savory texture of minced pork paired with soft, chewy tofu.
  • Beginners seeking to elevate their table with a simple yet impressive flavor combination that makes a standout main side dish.
