    3. Over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté our plant-based ground meat to your wok and cook until the mixture turns white.  
    4. Add Fermented Bean Paste and minced garlic to the wok. Sauté until fragrant. 
    5. Add water, rice wine and Sichuan peppercorns to the wok. Cook over medium-high heat until it boils. Add soy sauce, sugar and diced tofu. Then, add some flour to help the mixture thicken. 
    6. Finally, plate your Mapo tofu and garnish with chopped scallions and peppercorn powder to taste. Enjoy it on steamed rice. What a quick and delicious meal!
