Dinner: Maangchi's mapa tofu (마파두부)

http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/mapadubu Mapa tofu is also called "mapo tofu" or "mapo doufu." It's one of the most popular Chinese-Korean dishes in Korea along with jjajangmyeon (blackbean noodles) and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork/beef). Koreans call this dish "mapadubu." Every family seems to have their own version of mapadubu. I use chicken breast but you could use pork or beef. If you're a vegetarian, you could use mushrooms instead of meat. This is my version of mapa tofu, I hope you enjoy it! If you make this recipe, upload a photo of your dish to my website: http://www.maangchi.com/photos/upload Ingredients:
1 package of tofu, chicken breast, green onions, green chili pepper, red chili pepper, dried red chili peppers, ground black pepper, carrot, onion, walnuts, garlic, ginger, vegetable oil, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and potato starch powder. Cooking time: 40-50 minutes Directions (makes 2-4 servings):
 1. Take the tofu (14 oz: 400 grams) out of the package and rinse it in cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel or cotton cloth. 2. Cut it into ½ inch cubes and set aside. 3. Cut ½ pound (about 230 grams) of chicken breast into ½ inch cubes and set aside. 4. Cut ¾ cup's worth carrot (1 medium sized carrot) into ½ inch cubes and set aside. 5.
