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've tried a lot of mapo dofu recipes, but this one is by far the best. The sauce is perfectly balanced and the tofu is incredibly tender. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the beef with tofu. It turned out even better than I expected! The tofu absorbed all the delicious flavors of the sauce.
