Ingredients

• 2 tubes egg tofu (about 300 g), cut into 2 cm rounds
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 100 g Minced pork
• 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tsp Soy sauce
• ½ tsp Toasted sesame oil
• White pepper, a pinch
• 100 ml Water
• 1 tsp cornflour, mixed with 1 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp Dried goji berries, rinsed (optional)
• 1 Spring onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp Crispy fried shallots (optional)

Method

1. Arrange the egg tofu rounds in one layer on a heatproof plate and steam over high heat for 8 min until hot through.
2. Meanwhile heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat and fry the garlic for 30 seconds. Add the pork and fry for 3 min, breaking it up, until cooked.
3. Add the oyster sauce, soy, sesame oil, pepper, water and goji berries and simmer for 1 min, then stir in the cornflour slurry until glossy.
4. Pour off any water from the tofu plate, spoon the pork gravy over and finish with spring onion and fried shallots.

Tips

• Cut the tube in half and squeeze it out gently from the cut end so the tofu does not break.
• Contains egg, soy, wheat and oysters. Prawns make a lovely swap for the pork.
