Steps to make Mabo Dofu:
- In a small bowl mix the water and flour, gradually adding the flour. Be sure that it's not too thin or too thick. Set aside mixture for later. - - Note: It should feel like you've added a bit of water to some honey, still somewhat thick but moves a lot smoother.
- In a pan, add some oil and saute the meat until brown. Season lightly with salt. Add the veggies and cook till soft, then add the tofu last. - - Note: Garlic and spicy pepper should be cooked last among the vegetables to avoid burning.
- Add your seasonings, then the flour-water slurry and mix thoroughly immediately. If it seems like it's too thick, add some water to thin it out. When everything has thickened up nicely and sticks together more or less, it's done! Serve over rice.
