2) Add ma po tofu sauce and stir for a minute or two.
3) Add the stock, tofu and peas - bring to boil. Check for salt.

Tip: If you like it more spicy - add a hot red chilli in the beginning or sprinkle pepper powder in the end.
Tip: The sauce I used had starch in it already which acts as a thickener. If there's no thickener in the sauce you are using - mix 1 or 2 Tbsp corn starch in water and add accordingly.
