0017

Ingredients

• 400 g ground pork or chicken
• 1 tbsp garlic oil
• 3 tbsp scallion sauce
• 1 1/2 tbsp chili oil, adjusted to taste
• 1 1/2 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
• 1 block medium or firm tofu (about 400 g), cubed
• 1 cup chicken stock, or other stock

Cornstarch Slurry

• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water

Optional Garnish

• Green onions, chopped
• Red chili, chopped
• Steamed rice, for serving

Instructions

1. Brown the Meat: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and saute for 5-6 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
2. Season: Stir in the garlic oil, scallion sauce, chili oil, and vegetarian oyster sauce. Saute for 2-3 minutes to deepen the flavor.
3. Add Tofu and Stock: Gently fold in the cubed tofu without breaking it up. Pour in the stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Thicken the Sauce: Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is silky and thickened.
5. Serve: Spoon over steamed rice and garnish with extra chili oil, red chili, or green onions, if desired.
