Mabo Tofu

I like to make Mabo Tofu with the firm tofu because it holds up really well in this dish.  I like the tofu in chunks, not mush. It is stored in water...

Drain and...

Diced.

There are three variation to this sauce, Hot, Medium and Mild.  I like the Hot, even though it is not spicy at all.
