1 lb (500 g) firm tofu, drained and cubed

3 tablespoons soy sauce

½ teaspoon ground white pepper

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

½ cup (125 ml) cold water

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 green onions (scallions), sliced

1 Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and ground red chili
pepper (if using) until it is lightly browned and fragrant.

2 Add the pork and sauté another 2 minutes. Add the cubed tofu, gently stir-frying until

well mixed. Lower the heat to medium high.

3 Add the soy sauce, white pepper, and sugar; simmer for about 5 minutes.

4 Mix the cornstarch with the water and add a few tablespoons to the tofu mixture.
Sauté gently, making sure to lift and fold the tofu over instead of mashing it with the
spatula. Turn off the heat, and add the sesame oil and green onions. Toss together and
serve.
