Ingredients:
- 6 shrimps
- 1 stalk scallions, chopped into small rounds
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 10 canned button mushroom
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 block fresh or boxed tofu, soft or silken
- 2 oz. (56 g) ground pork
Brown Sauce:
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 dashes of white pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Instructions:
- Cut the tofu into tiny pieces and blot it dry using paper towels. Set aside the brown sauce mixture after thoroughly mixing it.
- Cooking oil and heat in a wok. A few minutes of stir-frying in heated oil will bring out the flavor of the garlic. Add the ground pork, shrimp, and mushrooms. Tofu and ground pork should be stir-fried together to break up the meat into smaller pieces. Before adding the brown sauce mixture, give the dish a brief swirl. The sauce should be heated through and gently stir-fried before serving. Stir in the chopped scallions, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
Note:
- If you’re using silken tofu, be extra careful when chopping and cooking it.
