Mapo Tofu / Sesame Chicken

Mar 02, 2011

For Lunch I made Mapo Tofu. This version of Mapo Tofu is very quick to make. I suggest getting Mapo Tofu sauce from the supermarket, usually in the Asian section. One package of sauce, one brick of soft tofu, and optionally half a pound of ground pork. I use the Lee Kum Kee brand but the easiest one to find seems to be the House Foods brand that is a bag in a box. Any will do. I suggest adding thinly sliced scallions/spring onions/green onions or whatever you call them in your part of the world. :o) Brown the pork with no oil. Although the package says to use oil, there's enough coming from the pork. Add diced tofu, sauce, stir till thickened, add green onions, serve. This is the quick version, the more elaborate version takes a lot time to make and requires a lot of special ingredients.


For dinner I made Sesame Chicken, this time I stir-fried the chicken instead of deep-frying as I'm attempting to reduce the amount of deep-fried foods I consume.
