How to use Ma Po Tofu sauce?

This sauce is perfect for preparing Mapo Tofu. Sauté an onion and minced pork (or pre-fried tofu) in a pan. Once the meat is sufficiently cooked and caramelized, add the ready-made sauce and sauté for 5 minutes.

Then add firm tofu at the end of cooking, let it cook covered for another 5 minutes, and add chives before serving, with white rice. If the consistency of the dish is not liquid enough, feel free to add a little water.

Count approximately 500 grams of minced meat to cook one jar.
