Soft Tofu
This mouthwatering Spicy Tofu with Ground Meat is a quick and flavorful dish that combines tender tofu cubes with a savory, spicy stir-fry. The tofu is gently microwaved to retain its soft texture, while the ground meat is stir-fried with aromatic dried red chili peppers, scallions, and crisp green peppers for a bold kick. A cornstarch slurry thickens the rich sauce, which is poured over the tofu and heated again to meld the flavors perfectly. Easy to prepare yet packed with umami and spice, this dish is perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal. The contrast between the silky tofu and the zesty meat topping makes every bite irresistible. Ready in minutes, it’s a delicious way to enjoy tofu with a punch of heat!
