Ingredients:

  • 1 block of firm tofu, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 2-3 tbsp Sichuan chili bean paste (doubanjiang)
  • 2-3 tbsp chili oil with sediment (layou)
  • 1 tbsp fermented black beans, rinsed and mashed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorn powder
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • Vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions:

  1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  2. Add the ground pork and cook until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the garlic, ginger, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and fermented black beans. Stir-fry for 10-20 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the Sichuan chili bean paste and chili oil. Stir-fry for another 10-20 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the tofu cubes, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Stir gently to combine, taking care not to break up the tofu.
  6. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the tofu has absorbed some of the flavor and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir gently to thicken the sauce.
  8. Add the cooked ground pork and stir gently to combine.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with steamed rice. Enjoy!
