Chocolate flavored mapo tofu

Belgian chocolate is rich in body and acidity from its high cocoa content.The delicate sweetness of this dish is a perfect match with Chinese Chili Bean Sauce and Sweetened Soybean Paste. Since stirring the tofu after adding it will cause it to fall apart, it is best to twirl it around as you move the pan.
