About This Recipe
This Spicy Tofu Stir-Fry with Ground Meat is a flavor-packed dish that combines soft tofu, savory ground meat, and aromatic spices for a mouthwatering meal. The secret lies in the Pixian bean paste, which infuses the dish with a rich, spicy depth, while garlic, ginger, and scallions add a fragrant kick. Tofu soaks up the bold sauce, enhanced by soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil for a perfect balance of sweet and savory. A final sprinkle of garlic scapes adds freshness and crunch. Quick and easy to make, this stir-fry is ideal for busy weeknights yet impressive enough for guests. Serve it over rice for a satisfying, protein-rich meal that’s bursting with umami flavors!
