Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
2 tablespoons coarsely grated fresh ginger
3/4 pound lean ground pork
8 cups broccoli florets (about 2 pounds whole broccoli)
1 pound firm tofu made with calcium sulfate, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup chicken stock, the no-salt-added variety
1/4 cup dry Sherry
3 tablespoons fermented black beans
2 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil, and saute the garlic, pepper flakes and ginger over medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring.
  • Add the pork, and stir to break up, cooking until the pork browns.
  • Add the broccoli, and stir well.
  • Stir in the tofu, stock, Sherry, black beans, sugar and soy sauce. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
  • Mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a smooth paste. Stir into the skillet, and cook over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt. Serve over cooked rice.

This recipe was missing some ingredients. The sauce didn't have any soy sauce or ginger, and the pork wasn't marinated. I had to add these ingredients myself, which changed the flavor of the dish.

This recipe was way too complicated. There were too many ingredients and too many steps. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone who doesn't have a lot of time or experience in the kitchen.

This recipe was way too spicy for me. I love spicy food, but this was just too much. I had to add a lot of sugar to the sauce to make it edible. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone who doesn't like spicy food.
