2. In a deep pan, mix together the doubanjiang paste, hoisin sauce, mirin, rice wine, soy sauce, grated garlic and water. Add in all the sliced mushrooms (stem and caps), garlic and tofu. Start to heat the pan over medium and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, lower the heat to low and cover. Cook for 10 minutes.

<Miwa’s tips> ※Watch more on YouTube!

・If you cant find deep fried tofu, use extra firm tofu.

・Remember to adjust the taste with soy sauce before you serve.

・If you are sensitive to heat, reduce the amount of doubanjiang paste in half.

It might be a little spicy for kids.

・Feel free to add in bok choy and spinach!
