3. Fry the doubanjiang in the empty space in the pan. When the doubanjiang has become fragrant, add the minced meat. Fry until the meat has become crumbly.
4. Add the ● ingredients and bring it to a boil. Add the tofu, brake it up with a ladle into bite-sized pieces, and heat for several minutes until warmed through.
5. When the tofu is warmed through, turn off the heat. Drizzle the katakuriko slurry (water not listed) from the sides of the pan, turn on the heat again, and bring to a boil shaking the pan.
6. Drizzle sesame oil to finish if you prefer! Sesame oil turns rancid quickly once it's heated, so drizzle at the end. It'll retain its aroma as well.
7. Silken tofu breaks up easily while cooking, so you don't have to break it up much when you add it to the pan.
8. It's better to add bamboo shoots and mushrooms after the meat has become crumbly.
