Ma Po Tofu at Home

I kept thinking about the Ma Po Tofu from Peter Cheng's. So I got all the ingredients and made my own vegan version based loosely on a recipe from About.com.

 
 
 
My house now smells like a Szechuan restaurant, and the tofu was delicious. It is intensely spicy, and I was sweating while eating. I think next time I'll reduce the amount of chili bean paste I use and substitute tamari for soy sauce since I'm eating less and less gluten these days.
