Picture 1 of 5

I craved for something light and not heaty after gobbling too much of barbequed and fried foods over the long weekend. Cooking something like congee, tofu and veggie would be pleasing. I made my mind up to prepare myself a tofu dish (after I saw Bel’s Steamed Tofu with Pork Ribs 豆腐蒸排骨).

Tofu has a plain structure with very little flavor on its own. So normally it is paired with other ingredients to make a dish. This time I just cooked the tofu with ground pork. Quick and easy! On the other hand, tofu is low in calories and only little fat. It also features high protein and calcium. These gave me another reason for cooking it. Add this humble dish to your recipe library now. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 block of silken tofu (cut into small cubes)
3-4 oz ground pork (marinated for 30 mins w/ 2 tbsp soy sauce)
2 tbsp dried shrimps (washed)
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 stalk scallion (chopped)

Seasonings:

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp shaoxing wine
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
2 dashes white pepper powder
1 tsp corn starch
little water

Cooking method:

1. Make the sauce by mixing all the seasonings in a bowl and set aside.
2. Heat up a wok / pan with 2 tbsp cooking oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant.
3. Add in the ground pork and dried shrimps and stir-fry. Break the ground pork into tiny pieces.
4. Add in the tofu and sauce. Stir gently until the sauce is boiled.
5. Finally, add in the scallions and do a few quick stirs before dish up.
