Egg Tofu with Pork


I love the rich flavor of the egg tofu.  


 Ingredients
  • 1 tube of egg tofu
  • 1/2 pound of ground pork
  • Corn starch for coating
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 2/8 teaspoon sesame oil 
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • green onion for garnish
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • salt and white pepper to taste

Directions
  1. In a bowl, season the ground pork with 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil.
  2. Cut the egg tofu to one inch slices and evenly coat the tofu with corn starch.
  3. Pan fry the egg tofu, use more oil if you need to.
  4. After it is browned, take the tofu out and place them on a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
  5. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to the same pan and brown the pork.
  6. In a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon of corn starch and dissolve in 3 tablespoon of water and add to the pork.
  7. Add the tofu back into the pan and toss lightly, season with 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, salt and white pepper for another 8 minutes. Garnish with green onion before serving.



This is so yummy, I do not know why people think that tofu is disgusting.  If you cook it correctly, they are absolutely delicious.  Especially the egg tofu, they are much tastier than the regular tofu. You do have to be careful with the egg tofu because they are very delicate and will break easily if you do not handle lightly.
