A delicious tofu dish that's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, pan-fried until golden brown and then simmered with minced meat and a spicy, numbing Ma La sauce—perfect as a rice companion.

Recipe
Cooking tips
- To prevent the tofu from breaking, wait until the surface is completely firm and well-browned before flipping during frying.
- Simmering the tofu in the sauce for about 2 minutes allows the Ma La seasoning to gently seep into the chewy outer layer of the fried tofu.
- The spicy, numbing flavor makes this an excellent side dish and a perfect light snack to enjoy with drinks.
Recommended for
- Those seeking a unique tofu dish with a firmer, chewier texture than Mapo Tofu.
- Those who love mixing spicy, numbing Ma La sauce into a steaming bowl of white rice.
