This is one of those dishes I make when I don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen but still want something delicious and comforting on the table. Silken tofu with minced pork — simple ingredients, quick to put together, and it goes so well with steamed rice.
Hi everyone, today we're going to make a very simple tofu dish with minced pork.
First, let's marinate the minced pork. Some light soy sauce,
give it a good mix. I'm also going to add some cornstarch.
This helps to soften the meat. Add a bit of oil. Okay, don't mix
the meat in a circular motion, just gently
mix it in different directions so that it doesn't clump up while cooking.
Now let's prep the tofu. I'm using silken tofu for this recipe.
Remove the tofu from the packaging. I'm just making a few slits at the corner
so that it's easier to unmold. Gently press the top and the sides to
release the tofu. Then cut the tofu into smaller cubes.
Okay, I've prepared all the ingredients. Now add some oil,
add garlic, saute on medium heat until the edges turn golden brown.
Now add the minced pork. Mix the minced pork immediately with the
garlic to prevent the garlic from burning. Saute until the minced pork is
cooked. It will turn from pink color to
brown. Now add the tofu, add some light soy sauce,
add some abalone sauce, cornstarch mixture.
Remember to stir before adding in. Now gently
mix, then increase the heat and let it cook until the sauce thickens.
Okay, the sauce has thickened.
You can season it with a bit more salt or sugar.
Then transfer to a serving bowl. Then garnish with some spring onions.
This is so good. It's so simple yet so yummy.
I hope you try it. See you next time.
