Spicy Pork and Tofu Stir-Fry
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 2 teaspoons chili bean sauce (toban djan)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sake
  • 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
  • 1 (12 ounce) package tofu, cut into 1/2-inch squares
  • 1/2 cup water, or more if needed
  • 1 small green onion, chopped
Instructions
1
Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the ginger and garlic together until they start to develop a rich aroma and the garlic reaches a light golden hue, approximately 30 seconds. Introduce the pork into the mixture and stir constantly as it browns and shreds, achieving a uniform color. Add the chili bean sauce, soy sauce, sake, and oyster sauce to the pan, blending them seamlessly into a cohesive whole. Gradually decrease the heat and allow the mixture to simmer gently until it reaches a state of subtle thickening, roughly 3 minutes.
2
Adjust the sauce consistency by adding water as necessary to achieve a balanced viscosity. Then, incorporate the tofu into the mixture with care, ensuring it is fully coated in the savory sauce. Continue to simmer until the tofu reaches a hot and satisfying temperature, approximately 10 minutes, with periodic stirring to maintain its even cooking.
3
Serve the dish garnished with a sprinkling of chopped green onion, adding a pop of color and freshness to the finished product.
