"Tofu and Pork" =D

this is worth a try, very good!! mm mmmm!!



Ingredients :

400 g. of pork rump
1 big (or 5 small) tofu
1 whole garlic
1 whole onion
1 bay leaf
a few stalks of leeks
6-7 peppercorns
salt
2 c. of cooking oil

For the sauce :

1 tbsp. of finely minced garlic
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 tbsps. of soy paste
1 tbsp. of dark soy sauce
1/4 c. of cane vinegar
3 tbsps. of rice vinegar
1/2 c. of meat broth
3-4 tbsps. of brown sugar
3-4 hot chili peppers

How to :

Wash the tofu Place in a glass bowl and cover with water. Let sit in the fridge for several hours to remove the plastery taste.

In a glass jar with a screw cap, mix together all the ingredients for the sauce. Cover and shake lightly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do this ahead of time to allow the flavors to develop.

Wash the pork rump and place in a casserole. Cover with water. Add the whole garlic, whole onion, bay leaf, leeks and peppercorns. Season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil, skimming off scum as it rises. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for an hour. Transfer the meat to a bowl and cool completely. For best results, chill in the fridge for a few hours after cooling. Cut the meat into 1/2†³ cubes.

Strain the broth and reserve 1/2 cup. Freeze the remainder for future use.

Drain and cut the tofu into 1/2†³ cubes. Heat the cooking oil in a wok or skillet until smoking. Deep fry the tofu cubes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and cool.

In a large bowl, toss together the pork and tofu cubes. Place in individual bowls. Spoon a few tablespoons of sauce (including the chopped spices) over them or serve the sauce in a separate bowl.

Tofu and pork?
Both of them are tasty!

yah, its pretty good.... its one of my favorite foods...^^

Yeah .
In my country,pork are usually cooked with vegetables,or maybe it was fried .
However,if I mixture the tofu and pork on a dish,it tastes great.
I could get satisfied without adding rice on my plate .

Mapao tofu anyone?

That stuff is good, but not quite like the Tofu and Pork up there.

This recipe is similar to what Filipinos call "Tokwa't Baboy" (Tofu and Pork). We usually eat it with rice and beef congee, and it's a pretty good food combo.

it is....

Oh,so that's the real recipe name,right ?

yep tokwa't baboy...hhehe

A traditional food?

yep!.. we eat it while drinking beer/gin...

That's from Philippine,right?
Didn't u afraid of swine flu while eating pork?
Do u have another traditional recipe again?

It took lots of time and recipes.
:(

Never had the courage to try pork...damn you, indoctrination, but I'll try this when i get over that...

Wow .
Is it because something that forbids u to eat pork?

I was, and am, raised as a muslim. I'm an atheist now but...it's just hard to kill those "eeewww" feeling that was burned deep inside your body....

Hey,I've discovered something about this recipe .
You can change the pork meat into beef meat (goat's are bad,so I didn't recommend it.And so is the chicken's)
:D
