Mapo Tofu

Be careful with the level of spice if you have littles. Other than that, it is fantastic!

Double sauce recipe Ssamjang is good replacement for doubanjiang

Followed nearly exactly including making my own oil with fresh thai and dried chilis - used "soft" tofu from House brand instead of specifically "silken" but seemed to have been the same. Couldn't be happier with the result. Ground the sichuan peppercorns myself with a mortar/pestle. Only difference was not adding a full 1/4 cup of oil before adding the garlic/ginger - poured the homemade chili oil into a heat safe container and then added maybe a tablespoon of extra vegetable oil and that worked just fine.

Tasty and quick, easy to adjust spiciness

Add 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2tsp soy sauce
