House describes it as rich, smooth and mild. The base leans on tomato paste and soybean paste for body, with garlic, ginger and spring onion behind them; doubanjiang (fermented broad-bean and chilli paste) and a little red and black pepper sit further down the list than they do in the hotter grades, and sesame oil and sesame paste round it off. One 150g box makes 4 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout House Foods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHouse Foods (ハウス食品) began in Osaka in 1913 as Urakami Shoten (浦上商店); the present group company was established in 2013 and works from dual head offices in Tokyo and Osaka.

It travelled into Japan through Japanese-Chinese cooking and became a standard weeknight dish there — generally rounder and less numbing than the Sichuan original, which is the style this sauce is made in. Japanese ranges are graded by heat, and this is the 甘口 (mild) grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to make mabo tofu — House's directions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 4 servings House gives: 1 box of Chinese Mabo Tofu Sauce, 1 block of tofu (14oz \/ 396g), 2oz (56g) of minced beef, pork or chicken, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
