Mabo Dofu - Tofu with Beef image

This recipe comes from an English-language Chinese cookbook of my mother's. I have made it...easy and delicious, and better than in the Chinese restaurants. As most Chinese dishes, it is best as part of a meal of a variety of dishes and a group of people. Accompany with Oriental boiled rice. Mabo Dofu (Bean Curd with Ground Beef and Chili Peppers)

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but this dish changed my mind. The tofu was cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chili oil next time.

This was my first time making mapo dofu, and it turned out great! The sauce was flavorful and slightly spicy. The tofu was soft and tender, and the beef was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
