  4. After simmering the onions and garlic, add the minced meat. I’m used to using only pork, so I did the same this time

  5. Add Pixian bean paste and tempeh. Because the taste is relatively light, I didn’t add too much. Stir-fry the red oil over low heat (I didn’t add much oil, and I didn’t add much doubanjiang, so the red oil was expected to be less)
