Try this Tofu with Spicy Pork And Snow Peas recipe, or contribute your own.
Suggest a better descriptionTried this recipe last night from cookbook called "Quick from Scratch" from "Food and Wine" and it was really pretty tasty and made me think of Doug in BC :-). This book has some nicely flavored stuff that is quick and seems as advertised (called "real food for busy weeknights"). Doug: I pressed the tofu like youve said to do and it worked! Made the pieces hold together better as I cooked them and also seemed like they may have absorbed more of the flavors of the sauce, too. Thanks for that tip! 1. In a small bowl, combine the stock, soy sauce, and sugar. In another small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. 2. In a wok or large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and red-pepper flakes and stir fry for 1 minute. Increase the heat to high and add the pork and salt. Stir-fry, breaking the meat into small bits with a metal spatula or spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. 3. Add the stock mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately high and add the snow peas and tofu. Simmer, stirring gently, until the tofu is heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir the cornstarch mixture and add it to the pan. Simmer until thickened. Stir in the sesame oil. More notes from me: I think my ground pork from the grocery may have had water added, because I had to pour off some as I stir fried it and still needed to add more cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce at the end. Be sure to use the toasted (dark colored) sesame oil and add after taking off heat. I served with white jasmine rice, and some Sriracha was good on the side to dip an occasional piece of tofu in for a nice garlicky blast. Be sure to have everything ready before you start to stir fry, it goes pretty fast from that point on. Posted to CHILE-HEADS DIGEST by Deb deForest
