Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

  • 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

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Stir for 20 seconds or until fragrant, then add the tomato paste in and stir for another 20 seconds.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    Repeat until all the mince is cooked and separated. This will take about 5 minutes, depending on your stove's heat.

  8. 8

    When the meat is cooked, add the tofu and stir until each cube is coated in the red color.Pro Tip: Be gentle to avoid any unnecessary breaking.

  9. 9

    Gently stir fry the tofu and pork mince for 2 minutes to infuse flavor.

  10. 10

    Pour in the chicken and pork stock and carefully stir. Let the dish simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes.

    When ready, serve immediately with hot rice!
