1/2 of a small Onion
5 cm White part of a leek
1 piece/clove each Ginger and garlic

Finely chop the leek, garlic and ginger.

Combine the ingredients.

Flavor the ground meat with 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce and sake (not listed).

Add the onion and leek, as well as the doubanjiang.

The doubanjiang will spit a bit, so be careful.
8
Cut the tofu into bite sized pieces and put on a plate.
9
Microwave without covering for 2 to 3 minutes at 500 W to expel excess water.
10
When the onion has softened, add the sauce and the tofu, and simmer for a few minutes.

While it's simmering, drizzle in the katakuriko slurry.
12
Stir in the Chinese garlic chives, turn off the heat, and it's done.

The next day, the sauce will stiffened up to a meat-miso sauce consistency, so I combined it with rice for mapo fried rice.
