But everyone knows that mapo tofu is delicious, and it is really difficult to make it authentic, so today we will use a simple ingredient that is always available at home to make an authentic taste.

1. First of all, mapo tofu must choose beef, mapo tofu with beef is the first step of authenticity, it is best not to use beef filling, cut the beef into thin slices and then cut into thin strips and finally cut into small dices, so that the fried beef will be more crispy and will have a special taste.

2. Tofu, be sure to choose tender tofu and cut it into squares of about 1 cm. Under normal circumstances, the tofu will be blanched to remove the beany smell first, and the second is more tough when it is cooked. But the lazy version of mapo tofu! This step is omitted, haha

3. Put the peppercorns in the hot oil to fry the beef out of the water first, put cooking wine, salt, light soy sauce, half a spoonful of sugar, and a spoonful of peppercorn powder to enhance the freshness, so that the beef has a basic base taste. Stir-fry the beef until crispy. Next is our secret weapon~~ Put in a piece of almighty hot pot base, I use Haidilao's butter hot pot base, this taste is absolutely authentic, and it is not worse than a restaurant. Stir-fry the hot pot base.

4. Quickly pour in boiling water and add tofu.

5. Thousands of tofu and ten thousand fish, the tofu can be stewed for five or six minutes to absorb the flavor, and then hook in an appropriate amount of water starch to make the soup thicker. Remember, the tofu is relatively tender, so be sure to push it gently to prevent the tofu from breaking. Finish with chives or minced garlic. Perfect!

With this secret weapon, you don't have to worry about the mapo tofu you make is not delicious, it's simple and convenient, so if you want to eat Sichuan food, there's nothing that can't be solved by a piece of hot pot ingredients.
