    4
    Add a small amount of oil to the pan, stir-fry the minced meat with a low heat until fragrant, then add the fermented bean and bean paste, stir-fry for a few times, and then add the ginger, garlic, and chili noodles. (Put the chili noodles first and make it easy to fry)

    5
    Add appropriate water to the pan and put the tofu in it. The soup requires basically flooding the tofu until it is as shown in the picture, and adding soy sauce, chicken essence, and monosodium glutamate. Since tofu does not have any flavor, more chicken essence and MSG should be added. The proportion of MSG is twice that of chicken essence.

    6
    When the soup boils, thicken it, and lower the heat slightly. Divide the sauce at least twice, don't put too much cornflour, wait until the soup is evenly wrapped on the tofu, and finally add a little red oil.

    Serve hot and sprinkle with pepper noodles and chopped green onion (if garlic sprouts need to be cooked in the pot), and a plate of fragrant Mapo tofu is made in this way.
