Ma Po Tofu
Replication of a favourite dish at a local restaurant – Pork can be substituted the Turkey if you prefer. My partner, who is not a Tofu fan, loves this dish.

This is from Eileen Yin-Fei Lo’s “The Chinese Kitchen”, one of the finest classic Chinese cookbooks in English. In this reciped, she uses “sah leh” (sand pears) and recommends substituting Bosc pears, but I have done this with Asian pears, specifically Hosui or Niitaka. The desirable characteristic is a hard, crisp fruit. This is a wonderful appetizer or amuse bouche … You can either pickle the pears whole, or for an appetizer, you can julienne them.
My mom likes to cook it and we love it. It’s simple and easy. If you do not have much time to prepare a meal, this can be a choice.
This recipe is for traditional Chinese fried rice but versions exist in many countries around the world.
