Braised Minced Pork with Soy Beancurd/Tofu



This is a big hit with my kids. "Give me more tofu" is the repeated phrase while gulping down their rice. A very simple dish but yet nutritious and 'lip-smacking'. You can use basically all types of tofu. I use Morinaga's Firm Silken Tofu that is found in most Asian shops. Enjoy!


Ingredients

1 box of tofu
3 cloves of garlic-minced
200g minced pork (marinated with 2-3 pinches of salt+pepper)
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp dark soya sauce
1/2 dl water

Optional
Enoki mushrooms (separate them and trim off the 'sandy' roots)


Method
  1. Heat up a frying pan with a dollop of oil.
  2. Fry garlic till fragrant and add in minced pork.
  3. Fry till pork is slightly browned. Add in oyster sauce, soya sauce and dark soya sauce. 
  4. Continue stirring and add in water and enoki mushrooms.
  5. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
  6. Gently, slide in tofu and turn off the heat. Cover the lid of the pan and let it simmer for another 3 mins.
  7. Use an angled spatula to lift up the tofu onto a serving dish. Pour the rest of the sauce+minced pork around it.
  8. Serve warm with rice.
