Health benefits of Mapo Tofu (Mabo Dofu)

Miso is extremely nutrient-dense and believed to alkalinize the body and stop the effects of carcinogens in the system.

Ingredients

2 tsp sriracha hot chili sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 cloves garlic
1/2 oz ginger
2 medium scallions
1/4 cup water
1/2 oz dark miso
14 oz silken tofu
1 tbsp corn starch
1 fl oz mirin

Instructions

1. Mix dark miso, mirin, oyster sauce, sesame oil, corn starch, water and sriracha in a bowl to make the sauce. (Adjust seasonings as you see fit.)

2. Put a splash of oil in a hot saute pan and fry the garlic and ginger until fragrant.

3. Add the ground meat and break it up with a wooden spoon.

4. When the meat is cooked, drain off any excess oil and add the sauce mixture.

5. Stir to combine, then add the tofu. If the sauce seems thick (or non-existent), add some water and cook until the tofu is heated through.

6. Note: if you’re using silken tofu, be careful not to mash up the tofu too much.
