|
|
1. Marinade the pork in shaoxing cooking wine, a splash of cooking oil, the soy sauce,
|
|
2. Add cooking oil to a wok and sear the ground pork until browned, chopping it up as it cooks
|
|
3. Add the doubanjiang and let it simmer for about a minute
|
|
4. Add the minced aromatics (ginger, garlic) scallion whites, and dou-chi and cook until fragrant
|
|
5. Add the stock and a splash of soy sauce, turn up the gas and bring to a boil
|
|
6. Add the tofu, lower the gas, and braise for around 15 mins
|
|
7. You'll know it's done when the tofu shows their trademark "pockmarks" and the seasoning sticks to them
|
|
8. Mix in the crushed sichuan peppercorns and green parts of the scallions right before serving
|
|
9. Serve over steamed rice
