List of Ingredients




1 cake of bean curd (soft)
1/2 tsp chopped ginger
1/4 pound ground pork (optional)
1 tbsp chopped green onions
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp cold water
3/4 cup soup stock (water or chicken broth)

Seasonings:
1/2 tbsp hot bean sauce
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp salt




Recipe



Dice bean curd into 1/2 inch cubes.

Heat oil (corn, olive, whatever) in a wok. Add chopped garlic and ginger. When those have changed color, add meat if you're using it. Otherwise, add bean curd and stir fry a couple minutes.

Add the seasonings and the soup stock (water if you're making a veggie version).

Let it simmer for about 3 minutes over medium heat. Then stir in the cornstarch to thicken it.

Add the sesame oil and the chopped green onions. Also season with ground pepper if you want. The green onions are mainly for color.

You can get hot bean sauce and sesame oil at all Oriental grocery stores and some supermarkets.
