Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon peanut or other oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1/4 to 1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup chopped scallions, green part only
1/2 cup stock or water
1 pound soft or silken tofu, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt to taste
Minced cilantro for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Put oil in a deep 10-inch skillet or wok, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium-high. A minute later, add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes, and cook just until they begin to sizzle, less than a minute. Add pork, and stir to break it up; cook, stirring occasionally, until it loses most of its pink color.
  • Add scallions and stir; add stock. Cook for a minute or so, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon if necessary to loosen any stuck bits of meat, then add tofu. Cook, stirring once or twice, until tofu is heated through, about 2 minutes.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger

  • Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the tofu to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
