Spicy Turkey Mabu Tofu

Mabu tofu is definitely one of my favorite Japanese dishes (Some say Chinese). I'd only used packaged sauce to make mabu tofu before until I tried this delicious homemade one. It was incredibly simple to make, too. Oh and it tasted wonderful! I enjoyed every bite of it. I used ground turkey instead of pork or beef but you can certainly use ground pork or beef if you want. I think ground turkey was awesome in it. This recipe was adapted and changed from RecipeZarr.
