Heat the oil of your choice in a large pan or wok, then add 4 oz. of ground beef or pork. Cook until the meat is fully browned, then turn off the heat and add 1 packet of Lee Kum Kee hot Sichuan-style mabo tofu sauce and mix well to combine. Add the blanched tofu to the mixture, then cover and cook over low heat until the tofu is heated through. Remove the lid and add several sliced green onions or one sliced leek. Stir to combine, then cook everything over high heat until the sauce is thickened. Serve this spicy, meaty, protein-rich dish with rice, vegetables, noodles, or a combination of other classic Sichuan entrees for a meal that's sure to impress!

While running a humble tea and oyster soup shop in Guangdong, China, Lee Kum Sheung had a happy accident; one day in 1888, he simmered his oysters for too long. His normally clear oyster soup had turned into a thick brown sauce with a rich aroma and an astonishingly complex flavor. Lee knew he had accidentally made something wonderful! He created the Lee Kum Kee brand to promote his newly-invented oyster sauce, and as the sauce's popularity began to grow, so did his company. Though today, Lee Kum Kee is an international brand that is well-known throughout China and around the world, this family-owned business has remained rooted in its beginnings as a simple company founded on delicious flavor. Lee Kum Kee offers a wide variety of traditional Chinese sauces and condiments and is constantly creating innovative new flavors that set the standard for great taste. Whether you're looking for authentic Chinese flavor or delicious condiments to help you keep up with industry trends, Lee Kum Kee offers something for every establishment.
