mapo tofu
By AlberthaRoob
The authentic Mapo tofu contains like beef. There is no beef at home, so I used pork to make this copycat version of Mapo tofu. However, although the pork is not as fragrant as beef, it tastes smoother and tender. Look at this bright chili oil smells delicious and spicy, which ensures that you can eat an extra bowl of rice.
