Minced Pork With Tofu And Mushrooms Recipe

Minced Pork With Tofu And Mushrooms

From simcooks 16 years ago

A typical Chinese dish which has flavorful ingredients like dried sole, dried scallops and salted fish that makes the gravy oh-so-sweet!

- 1/4 lb minced pork (seasoned with a dash of salt, pepper, corn starch and mixed with 2 cloves garlic, sliced, and 3 slices of ginger, julienned) shopping list
- 3 shitake mushrooms, cut into pieces (I had dried ones, so they need to be pre-soaked in water first) shopping list
- 1 tbsp dried sole (pre-fried) shopping list
- 1 tbsp dried scallops (pre-fried) shopping list
- 1 tbsp salted fish (pre-fried) shopping list
- 3 stalks green onions, cut into 1″ diagonals shopping list
- 1 block silken tofu, cut into 1″ cubes shopping list
- 1/2 bowl water shopping list
- cornstarch solution (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water) shopping list
Seasoning: shopping list
- 1 tsp light soy sauce shopping list
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce (for color) shopping list
- 2 tsp oyster sauce shopping list

Heat up 2 tbsp oil and stir fry minced pork until fragrant.
Add shitake mushrooms and light soy sauce and mix well.
Add dried sole, dried scallops and salted fish and mix well.
Add dark soy sauce and oyster sauce, mix well and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes then add green onions and mix well.
Add silken tofu and allow to cook for about 30 secs, then add 1/2 bowl water, cover saucepan and allow to boil. (No need to mix tofu with rest of the ingredients as you will break up the tofu.) Continue to boil for about 4-5 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb the gravy, otherwise the tofu will taste plain. (You may want to do a taste test here to see if you need more light soy sauce to increase the saltiness or more water to dilute the saltiness.)
Drizzle cornstarch solution over gravy to thicken the gravy. Gently shake the saucepan to allow the cornstarch solution to be mixed with the gravy.
