Ingredients
- 1 pkg (425 g) regular tofu
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz (250 g) lean pork or pork shoulder or belly, thinly sliced, or mushrooms
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) Chinese chili bean paste or Guilin chili sauce, or 2 tbsp/30 mL hoisin sauce mixed with 1 tbsp/15 mL Asian chili sauce
- 1 sweet green pepper, cut in 1-1/2-inch/4 cm squares
- Half sweet red pepper, cut in 1-1/2-inch/4 cm squares
- 2 cups (500 mL) Napa cabbage, bok choy or cabbage, cut in 1-1/2-inch/4 cm squares
- 5 lbs green onions, cut in 1-1/2-inch/4 cm lengths
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) sesame oil
Preparation
Place tofu on flat plate and set second plate on top to lightly press out excess moisture; let stand for 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry; slice tofu into scant 1/2-inch/1 cm slices.
In nonstick or cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry tofu slices, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Transfer 2 tbsp/30 mL of the oil into wok or skillet over high heat; fry garlic until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Add pork; stir-fry until edges are lightly browned, then stir in wine. Stir in chili-bean paste; stir-fry until pork is coated and paste is cooked, about 30 seconds.
Add green and red peppers, cabbage, onions and tofu; stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in stock and equal amount of water; cover and cook until vegetables are tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover and stir-fry until no liquid pools in bottom of wok. Stir in sesame oil.
