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) 2 cakes bean curd (tofu) - 3/4 lb. 1/4 kb. ground or minced beef 3 Tbsp oil (or cooking spray) 1 clove garlic, chopped 3 chili peppers, chopped (or use chili flakes) 1 Tbsp chopped leek 2 Tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp. sugar 2 Tbsp cornstarch, mixed with 1/2 cup water or broth 1 Tbsp sesame oil Cut bean curd into bite-sized squares and set aside. Heat oil and fry garlic, chili peppers and chopped leek. Add meat. When meat changes color, lightly stir in bean curd, soy sauce and = sugar. Cover with lid and cook for 10 min. Add cornstarch mixture, allowing it to thicken for a few minutes. Turn out into serving dish, sprinkle with the sesame oil and serve hot.
