STIR-FRIED TOFU & GROUND MEAT WITH SPICY MISO SAUCE (MABO-TOFU)

In Japan, stir-fried tofu and ground meat with spicy sauce is called “mabo-tofu”, and it is recognized as Chinese cuisine.

When we go to Chinese restaurant here in Tokyo, we often order mabo-tofu.

Although it is kind of difficult to make genuine style of mabo-tofu using complex spices and seasonings, you can cook it easily with miso paste!

By using miso paste for the spicy sauce, it becomes mild and super tasty.
Juicy meat matches so well with the aromatic flavorful seasonings such as garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
