In this vegan mapo tofu recipe, I omitted the pork and used a generous amount of fermented bean pastes to give the dish flavor. One of them is doubanjiang (豆瓣醬), a Sichuan-style sauce made with fermented broad beans/fava beans.

Add the chicken stock, cornstarch, soy sauce and sugar to a small bowl and stir to combine. Heat a wok or large frying pan until hot.
