Egg Tofu with Minced Pork
This Egg Tofu with Minced Pork is an easy and flavorful recipe that comes together in 45 minutes. The sauce is savory, sweet, and goes perfectly with a bowl of rice. I recently made this for my wife’s family and they loved it.
Ingredients
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Fried Tofu
- 2 8-ounce packages egg tofu
- 2 teaspoons neutral oil
Stir-fry
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
- 170 g ground pork
- ¾ cup chicken stock (or water)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 scallion (sliced)
Instructions
Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
Fried Tofu
- Cut egg tofu into ⅔-inch thick slices and place them on a dry dish towel to absorb excess moisture. I will usually let it sit here for at least 30 minutes to get out as much moisture as possible.
- Heat oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add as many tofu pieces as you can and fry each side for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Be gentle with each tofu as they are very delicate and tend to break. Once cooked, transfer to a serving dish.
Stir-fry
- Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 5-10 seconds. Add the ground pork and cook for 2-3 minutes until no longer pink.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the sauce mixture. Cook for 1 minute. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Stir it into the sauce and give it a few seconds to thicken. Finally, pour the sauce over top of the egg tofu and garnish with scallions. Serve immediately.
