Easily make Tomato Mapo Tofu using yakiniku sauce. The tanginess of the tomato and the sweetness of the yakiniku sauce create a perfect match, making this dish irresistible with rice. The trick here is to simmer the tofu to remove moisture, allowing it to thicken without needing a cornstarch slurry.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Tomato 1 pc (approx. 150g)
- Firm Tofu 1 block (approx. 300g)
- Ground Pork 60g
- Potato Starch 2 tsp
Seasonings
- [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
- [A] Grated Ginger 1 tsp
- Salt (to taste)
- [B] Water 100ml
- [B] Yakiniku Sauce 4 tbsp
- Chili Oil (optional)
Steps
- Remove the core from the tomato and chop into 2cm cubes.
- Cut the firm tofu into bite-sized, easy-to-eat pieces.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 60g ground pork, 1 tsp grated garlic, and 1 tsp grated ginger to the heated pan. Stir and cook while breaking up the ground pork.
- Lightly season with salt (to taste).
- Once the pork is cooked through and has changed color, add 100ml water and 4 tbsp yakiniku sauce. Recommended Yakiniku Sauce: Medium to spicy type is recommended.
- Add the cut tofu and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. Cook until the tofu is heated through and has released its moisture. Be careful not to break the tofu while turning it to ensure even flavor distribution.
- After 5 minutes of simmering, turn off the heat. Coat the cut tomatoes with 2 tsp potato starch. This is the trick: by coating the tomatoes with potato starch before adding them to the pan, you can achieve a thickened sauce without preparing a separate slurry.
- Add the potato starch-coated tomatoes.
- Stir everything together and bring back to heat, cooking until thickened. Be careful not to break the tofu while mixing.
- Once the sauce has thickened, transfer to a serving dish.
- For extra spice, drizzle chili oil over the top as desired.
