For a richer flavor, try using ground chicken or turkey instead of pork. Add a splash of sesame oil at the end for enhanced aroma. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and ginger.
A comforting and savory dish featuring tender tofu and flavorful ground pork, brightened with sweet peas in a rich umami sauce. Perfect served over steamed rice for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add chopped green onion, minced garlic, and minced fresh ginger root to the hot oil. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add ground pork to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with the back of a wooden spoon. Pour soy sauce over the pork. Cook and stir until the pork is completely browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Stir in frozen peas and cook until they are softened, around 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold in the drained and bite-size pieces of soft tofu. Cook until the tofu is heated through, about 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together water, oyster sauce, cornstarch, salt, and ground white pepper. Gently stir this mixture into the skillet with the pork and tofu.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, approximately 5 minutes.
