This amazing one-pan egg tofu stir fried with minced pork and Chinese style fermented black beans is one of our family favorite weeknight meals and will quickly become yours.
Cut the egg tofu into about 1-inch slices. Mix the corn starch with water to thicken the sauce later
Put the meat in the bowl along with marinade ingredients. Stir to combine and let it marinate while you are preparing other things
Pan fry the egg tofu:
Preheat a large pan or skillet with cooking oil over medium heat. When it's hot, add the tofu slices and pan fry until they are golden brown on both sides. You can see a thin crust form on the surface of the tofu. Remove from the heat and arrange on a serving platter
Cooking:
In the same pan or skillet, add aromatics and stir fry for about 1 minute. Add the pork and stir fry until the pork just started to turn color and no longer pink. If you want to add vegetables like broccoli or carrots, add them here. Add the chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer and then cover with a lid briefly to cook the vegetables until they are soft, but not mushy. Add the seasonings and stir to mix everything for about 30 seconds.
Thicken the sauce:
Once it boils, gives the corn starch slurry a stir and pour into the pan or skillet. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens. Have a final taste and add more soy sauce and/or sugar if needed. It should be savory in taste
Remove from the heat and pour the meat sauce over the pan-fried egg tofu. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve immediately
