Mapo Tofu Flatbread

Mapo Tofu Flatbread is a delightful fusion dish combining the bold flavors of traditional Mapo Tofu with the comforting texture of flatbread. This vegan pizza offers a spicy, savory topping that's both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Flatbread - 2 pieces (about 20 cm each)
• Firm tofu - 200 grams, diced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste) - 1 tablespoon
• Szechuan peppercorns - 1 teaspoon, ground
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Spring onions - 2, chopped
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 100 ml
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Add the diced tofu to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it starts to brown.
3. Stir in the doubanjiang, soy sauce, and ground Szechuan peppercorns; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl until smooth, then add this mixture to the pan. Stir well until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
5. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sesame oil and chopped spring onions.
6. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place flatbreads on a baking sheet.
7. Spoon the Mapo tofu mixture evenly over each flatbread, spreading it out to cover.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
9. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
