ILW.COM- Recipe Of the Week : Mapo Tofu

Tofu is a low calorie, high-protein soy product that may have cancer fighting properties. Tofu, black bean paste and red chili paste with garlic are available in the Asian food section of most larger supermarkets and in specialty stores. The name of the dish could be translated as "pock-marked bean curd," but do not let the name put you off. It is simple and delicious, and can be made with meat or as a vegetarian dish.
