Mabo Dofu - Tofu with Beef image

This recipe comes from an English-language Chinese cookbook of my mother's. I have made it...easy and delicious, and better than in the Chinese restaurants. As most Chinese dishes, it is best as part of a meal of a variety of dishes and a group of people. Accompany with Oriental boiled rice. Mabo Dofu (Bean Curd with Ground Beef and Chili Peppers)
