Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon red fermented broad bean paste (dou ban jiang)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or to taste
- 1 tablespoon salted black bean (douchi) optional
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 ½ C water or poultry broth divided
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 C (~150g) lean ground turkey
- 1 large white onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pkg medium firm tofu drained and cut into cubes
- 1 teaspoon Chili oil (optional, if you like more spice, add more, if not, omit)
- ¼ teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorn optional
- 2 tablespoon green onions chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the red broad bean paste (dou ban jiang), sugar, and salted black bean (douchi). Set aside.
- In another small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and ½ C water or chicken broth. Mix until the cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat up a large wok or pan over high heat. Add in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Add in the ground turkey and break it up into small pieces using a spatula. Fry for about 2 minutes.
- Add in the diced onion and fry with the ground turkey until fragrant, about another 3-4 minutes.
- Next, add in the drained tofu to the turkey mixture and stir gently to mix everything together.
- Add in the remaining 1 cup of water/poultry broth, dou ban jiang sauce mixture and stir to coat the ground turkey and tofu.
- Bring it up to a boil and then add in the cornstarch slurry. The sauce will thicken up and coat all of the ground turkey, tofu and onion.
- Add in chili oil and ground Sichuan peppercorn if you wish. When the mapo tofu comes to a simmer, remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot over steamed rice.
