Instructions
- In a large wok heat the oil add the ground beef and Doubanjiang. Cook over medium heat and chop the ground meat into small bits with a spatula, until beef is evenly coated with Doubanjiang and fully cooked through.

- Spread tofu evenly on top of ground beef. Add five-spice powder, and sugar. Pour in the water and cook until brought to a simmer.
- Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to half the original amount. Taste the tofu with some sauce (be careful, it will be very hot!).
- Adjust seasoning by adding salt if needed. If the dish is too spicy, add another teaspoon of sugar to balance it out. Gently mix well with spatula.
- Mix cornstarch water again until fully dissolved and swirl it into the skillet. Gently stir a few times with a spatula, until sauce thickens. Turn off heat and transfer everything to a bowl.
- Garnish with extra green onion and a small of the Sichuan peppercorns oil, if using. Serve hot over steamed rice or by itself as main.
