Hey everyone, I hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a special dish, mabo dofu. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I will make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Mabo Dofu is one of the most favored of recent trending meals on earth. It’s appreciated by millions every day. It is simple, it is fast, it tastes yummy. They’re fine and they look wonderful. Mabo Dofu is something which I have loved my whole life.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have mabo dofu using 18 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Mabo Dofu:

1. Take Flour-Water Slurry
2. Take 1/4 c flour
3. Prepare 1/3 to 1/2 c of water
4. Get Seasoning
5. Get to taste (sea) salt
6. Make ready 1 tsp garlic powder
7. Make ready 1/4 c dashi (dried Japanese fish stock) or 1-2 tbsp of miso or 1-2 chicken bouillion [this is really to taste, since it's used to add the most savory flavour]
8. Get 1 pinch turmeric powder (for color) OPTIONAL
9. Make ready 1 pinch paprika (for color) OPTIONAL
10. Make ready 2 tbsp ground chili or 1 tbsp of fresh spicy pepper (I use habanero) OPTIONAL
11. Prepare 2 tbsp soy sauce
12. Make ready 1 tbsp sesame oil
13. Make ready Filling
14. Take 4 baby bok choy, sliced or diced
15. Prepare 1 1/2 stalks celery, sliced or diced
16. Take 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
17. Get 1 1/2 box soft tofu, cut into small cubes
18. Make ready 1/2 lb ground beef or other (about beef/pork/turkey: be sure to "cut" into small pieces when cooking so you don't end up with meat clumped together)

Instructions to make Mabo Dofu:

1. In a small bowl mix the water and flour, gradually adding the flour. Be sure that it's not too thin or too thick. Set aside mixture for later. - - Note: It should feel like you've added a bit of water to some honey, still somewhat thick but moves a lot smoother.
2. In a pan, add some oil and saute the meat until brown. Season lightly with salt. Add the veggies and cook till soft, then add the tofu last. - - Note: Garlic and spicy pepper should be cooked last among the vegetables to avoid burning.
3. Add your seasonings, then the flour-water slurry and mix thoroughly immediately. If it seems like it's too thick, add some water to thin it out. When everything has thickened up nicely and sticks together more or less, it's done! Serve over rice.
4. THIS IS NOT A STEP; if you feel that the ingredient list is way too long then just go with a basic mabo dofu recipe using just the ground meat, your choice of veggies and the dashi, soy sauce, sesame oil and salt. That's really all you need, everything else is just my preference, such as the habanero.
