Despite originating in Szechuan province in China, Mabo Tofu has become a classic Japanese dish, but with a sweeter, milder taste. Tofu and mince cooked in a spicy sauce, it can be made very quickly and easily making it a popular dish in Japan for those short on time. Eat it over a bowl of steaming rice for Mabo Tofu Donburi.

How to prepare

  • Add the mince pork to a pan and begin cooking it

  • Once the pork is cooked and the juices run clear, drain any oil before returning to the pan.

  • Add the mabo tofu sauce to the pan and mix with the pork.

  • Cut the block of tofu into small cubes and then carefully add to the mix.

  • When everything is mixed and the tofu is heated through, add finely chopped up spring onions to the pan, mix and then serve!

  • You can add La-yu chilli oil for extra spice – either in the pan or once it is served on the plate.
