Method

7 steps

Mix the broth, bean paste, soy sauce, and salt. Set aside.
Cut the tofu into cubes and place in a pot of barely simmering water, keeping the heat low.
Heat a skillet over high heat and add the oil. Fry the ground meat, breaking up any lumps, until it changes color. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for another 2 minutes.
Pour the prepared sauce into the meat and bring to a boil.
Drain the tofu in a colander and carefully add it to the skillet with the meat.
Mix the starch with water and pour into the skillet. Stir until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat, add the sesame oil, Sichuan pepper, and some of the green onion. Stir and serve, sprinkled with the remaining onion.
