Simple Mapo Tofu

Drain the tofu really well. Break up the tofu when simmering with a wooden spoon so that the tofu absorbs the flavor better. If you like spicy food increase the dobanjiang. It might be too spicy for children with this amount in the recipe. Adjust the spiciness to your liking. Recipe by Hinanachoko.
