Recipe

In a bowl, combine the prepared minced green onion, minced onion, minced chili pepper, and minced beef.
Add cooking oil, red pepper powder, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, doubanjiang, mirin, minced garlic, and sugar to the bowl, and mix thoroughly to make the seasoning sauce.
Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on the bottom of another serving dish.
Evenly spread the pre-made meat seasoning sauce over the cut tofu.
Place the dish in the microwave and cook for 16 minutes until the meat is fully cooked.
Once done, place the hot rice in a bowl, top with the cooked mapo tofu, and finish by drizzling sesame oil and sprinkling sesame seeds.

Mix minced vegetables and meat with the required amount of doubanjiang, red pepper powder, and other seasonings to create the sauce.
Place the diced tofu in a dish, pour the sauce over it, and microwave for 16 minutes.
Serve the finished mapo tofu over rice and finish with sesame oil and sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

You can substitute beef with minced pork—the rich fat blends beautifully with the soft tofu.
The final drizzle of sesame oil and sprinkle of sesame seeds add a savory aftertaste that complements the spicy sauce, so they are highly recommended.
