I wanted to make Japanese style mabo dofu but didn’t have some of the ingredients. No problem, I’ll make it Korean style!
You can definitely up the spice on this one if you want by adjusting the amount if gochugaru (red pepper flakes). I want to taste my food with a little spice but I’m not a fan of tasting ONLY hot and spicy 🌶!
If you prepare rice in the little bowl, you’ve got yourself a delicious meal with just a little time spent preparing it.
Hope you like it!
PS: I will post the Japanese style Mabo Dofu once I get all the ingredients I need!
*NOTE that this recipe uses regular sized measuring cups, NOT the tiny ELB cup, unless specified.*
