HUNAN BEAN CURD IN HOT MEAT SAUCE
Because I am a vegetarian, I leave out the pork. Also, I have made this by sauteeing fresh broccoli rabe, then adding the sauce ingredients and proceeding as written, since I didn't have any peas. Watch out--this is HOT! But very, very good!!

STEAMED BEAN CURD WITH SOY SAUCE
This is light side dish, which is fairly healthy. It's very easy to prepare too. I usually steam the tofu in my rice cooker, when the rice is almost ready. Note: passive cook time is the time to steam the tofu.

SPICY GAI LAN AND BEAN CURD SOUP
Gai Lan, which is known as Chinese broccoli, can be found at many Asian grocers. But if you can't find it, don't despair, fresh tender broccoli can be substituted in a pinch (it tastes quite similar anyway). This makes a wonderful light soup which can be totally vegetarian if you wish. It does turn out a bit spicy with the full three peppers sliced in (with the seeds)(I used fresh red Thai dragons in the recipe), so adjust the heat to your own taste. I think this also might be nice with chicken substituted for the tofu- if you choose to do that, add about 10-12 ounces of chopped cooked chicken where you would add the tofu. Enjoy!

MA PO TOFU (SPICY SZECHWAN BEAN CURD)
Ma Po, in Chinese, means 'pock-marked old lady'. It refers to a famous Szechwan chef's wife, who created this dish in the 19th century in the provincial capital, Chengdu. Be warned! Ma Po Dofu is hot and spicy, and tofu has never tasted like this before! For a vegetarian version, omit the meat, add more tofu and, after blanching, place in the marinade ingredients for 30 minutes. Brown bean paste/sauce is salty brown sauce made from fermented soybeans, and is found in jars at most Asian markets. It is also known as yellow bean paste/sauce, soy bean condiment, "Yuan Shai Shih" or "Mo Yuen Shih". If unavailable, substitute with black bean sauce. For the Szechwan chile paste, I substituted "toban jiang", (also known as "toban jan/jyan"). Try to obtain the Szechwan peppercorns. They are what give Szechwan cuisine its distinctive flavor. This delicious dish is loosely adapted from a recipe in "Mrs. Chiang's Szechwan Cookbook". It looks complicated, but I assure you it isn't! Just assemble all the ingredients before cooking.

BEAN CURD SZECHUAN-STYLE (MA PO DOFU)
Literally translates as" "pock-marked old lady tofu." For more background see Daydream's recipe (which is very different from this one) "recipe #78452" A simpler version from some of the others I have seen on this site. This version is adapted from a Chinese cookbook that my Mandarin tutee gave me as a college graduation gift--"Chinese Cooking" from JG press. It is very helpful to have all of your ingredients prepared and ready to go before you start the wok because it goes very fast from that point on! Where it calls for 'hot bean sauce' I use tobanjan/lajiaojiang (chili bean paste), 'Lan Chi' (lanji in pinyin) brand, but the recipe says you can also substitute two dried red chiles. You can experiment with different tofu to see what keeps its shape the best; I have personally found that the semi-firm, locally made fresh tofu that I can get at the Uwajimaya here holds up well. This recipe reminds me of the tofu that I used to order at one of my favorite restaurants in Shanghai.

Steps:
- Cut bean curd into .5-inch cubes, place in a colander and leave to drain for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl blend the marinade: 1 tsp of soy sauce, sherry, and sweet bean or hoisin sauce; add pork and stir to coat.
- Stir in 1 tsp of the oil and marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat a wok or wide frying pan over high heat.
- When pan is hot, add remaining veg oil.
- When oil begins to heat (i.e. passes the "water droplet test" where a sprinkling of water thrown into the oil starts to crackle--careful here) add ginger and garlic.
- Stir once, then add pork and stir-fry until meat isn't pink any more, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in hot bean sauce (lajiaojiang or tobanjan).
- Add drained beancurd, the water and the 2 Tbsp soy sauce.
- Simmer for 3 minutes, then add green onion.
- Re-mix cornstarch and water with a fork, add to pan and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens (this happens very quickly).
- Sprinkle with crushed szechuan peppercorns just before serving.
- Serve over large mounds of hot white rice.
- I have served this along with some stir-fried Chinese broccoli (gai lan) seasoned with a little oyster sauce, or some baby bok choy stir fried with a little sesame oil.
- For a vegetarian version, this recipe also works if you omit the meat.
- You could also try using some kind of veggie sausage, like Morningstar crumbles, in place of the pork.
