PORK TOFU WITH WATERCRESS AND BEAN SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place pork in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until pork is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, water, ginger, and black pepper; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until meat is tender, about 40 minutes.
• Stir in the watercress and bean sprouts, and continue to simmer until tender yet still crisp, about 10 minutes more. Mix in the tofu, cover, and simmer 5 minutes more.

PORK TOFU CASSEROLE (TAIWAN MUSHI)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes or rectangular pieces. Line the bottom of a pan with the tofu (can use a 2-3 quart casserole pan or we like using a 10-inch cast iron pan). Set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, saute the ground pork until browned.
• Add the onions, mushrooms, and water chestnuts. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onions soften.
• Add the soy sauce, sake, and mirin. Cook for 1 more minute.
• Pour the pork mixture over the tofu.
• Beat the eggs (use 3 eggs for a smaller pan and 4 or 5 eggs if using a larger pan). and pour the eggs evenly over the pork mixture.
• Sprinkle the green onions on top.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes (this will make it easier to slice). Then slice, serve, and eat with rice!
