The Spicy Minced Beef with Tofu is similar to famous Sichuan spicy dish called Mapo Tofu(麻婆豆腐); while I made the home-made version which is less oily, less spicy. It still has an incredible flavor, so saucy, and so great to serve with rice! You only need two main ingredients, tofu and minced beef or ground beef. In the addition, it is super-easy and super-fast dish that can be served on the table in 15mins.
