Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 baby leeks, cut diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices (1/2 lb total, white and pale green parts only)
10 ounces firm tofu, drained, sliced, and cut diagonally into triangles
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/4 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon chinese rice wine (preferably Shaoxing) or 1 teaspoon medium-dry sherry
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon chili bean sauce or 1/2 tablespoon chili bean paste
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon mild pure chile powder
1/2 teaspoon chinese fermented black beans, soaked in water 10 minutes and drained
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon potato starch or 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water
white rice
1/2 teaspoon szechuan peppercorns, toasted and ground with a mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Wash leeks in cold water, and drain well.
  • Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon salt in 2 cups hot water, and add tofu. Soak 5 minutes, then drain.
  • Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add oil, swirling wok to coat, and heat until it begins to smoke. Add beef and stir-fry, breaking up lumps, until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce and stir-fry 30 seconds.
  • Add chile bean sauce and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add ginger, chile powder, and black beans and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth, remaining 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, and tofu, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring gently, about 2 minutes.
  • Add leeks and simmer, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir potato starch mixture and add to tofu, then cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.
  • This serves two people as a the main dish, or up to 10 people as part of a family-style meal with a variety of dishes.

  • Heat a flat-bottomed cast iron pan over medium high heat. Before it starts to smoke, add 1 tablespoon of oil, and tilt the pan so the oil coats the bottom of the pan. Add the tofu and pan fry on both sides—3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Heat the second tablespoon of oil in a wok over medium heat. Cook the garlic, chili, and the white parts of the scallions for about a minute. Next add the ground pork (or chicken) and stir fry for a minute until meat is cooked through.
  • Add the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar and water. Stir and bring to a boil. Finally, add in the pan-fried tofu and the green parts of the scallions. Turn up the heat, and quickly stir-fry everything together. Add salt to taste and serve.
