Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large sturdy frying pan (preferably a 12 one), saute the onions and the garlic in the oils until onions are somewhat tender (saute less if using green onions).
  2. Add in the ground meat and chop it up with your spatula as you stir-fry. Continue until meat is no longer pink (takes only a few minutes-do not overcook!).
  3. Add in ginger, chili paste (to taste-leave it out if cooking for a toddler), sake or other wine, soy sauce, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, skimming off fat, if needed.
  4. Add in the cubed tofu and stir gently, while trying to avoid breaking up the cubes. Cook only until tofu is coated and hot (not long!).
  5. Stir the cornstarch into a few tablespoons of water-just to moisten-and add this mixture slowly to the meat and tofu-stirring constantly.
  6. Scoop heaping portions of the mapo dofu over steamed white rice and let guests add in more chili paste, if they desire.
