- 400 g / 0.88 lb pork mince
- 900 g / 2 lb silken tofu ((this is about 3 boxes))
- 3 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
- 3 cloves garlic ((finely chopped))
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
- 3/4 tsp salt ((or to taste))
- 1 tsp sugar ((or to taste))
- 3 tbsp cooking oil
- 180 mL / 0.8 US cup chicken and pork stock ((or water))
Instructions

Carefully cube the tofu into 2cm x 2cm (1/2″ x 1/2″) blocks and place them into a colander.Pro Tip: Be especially delicate to avoid breaking them.

Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of salt on the cubes, shaking the colander to mix in the seasoning. Let it rest as you work on the other ingredients.

Put the mince in a bowl and add the remaining salt, chicken bouillon powder and sugar. Combine the ingredients well.

Heat up your wok or pan on a high heat and add the oil in. Turn the heat to medium and add the garlic.

Increase the heat back up to high, then add the pork and mix it into the tomato paste. It’s best to separate the mince using a ‘poke and twist’ method with a flat cooking utensil like a heatproof spatula.Note: The 'poke and twist' method simply involves you poking the mince with a utensil, then twisting it to separate the meat.
