Mapo Tofu

I got some Japanese Mapo Tofu mix and had it for dinner. All you add is ground meat and tofu!

From Wikipedia:

Ma stands for “mazi” (Pinyin: mázi Traditional Chinese 麻子,) which means a person disfigured by pockmarks. Po (Chinese 婆) translates as “old woman”. Hence, Ma Po is an old woman whose face was pockmarked.

Elegantly put. Wikipedia.
