This mapo tofu recipe (Jessica in the Kitchen) is a lovely meal, once you’ve mastered it. Inspired by the Chinese classic, it’s made with crumbled vegan burgers and tofu. The recipe also contains lots of healthy veggies, including mushrooms and onions.
Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets (keep mushrooms and onions away from animal friends). Bin scallion scraps (the acid could harm compost creatures).
This recipe is a good starter recipe to try tofu. Made from bean curd, it has no taste, so absorbs the flavours of what you cook it with. Cookbook author Sarah Kramer says that to say you don’t like tofu, is like saying you don’t like cake flour! We like Tofoo (organic and made in Yorkshire!)
