Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 14 ounces firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain the tofu and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and cooked through.
Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and gently stir to combine with the pork, being careful not to break the tofu.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and tofu. Stir gently, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat everything evenly, about 2–3 minutes.
Season with black pepper and adjust salt if needed.
Sprinkle sliced green onions on top as garnish.
Serve hot with steamed rice for a complete meal.
