Spicy Pork & Tofu with Jasmine Rice

In a bowl, add the pork and all the marinade ingredients. Set aside.

Place the tofu on the chopping board and cut into roughly 1 inch cubes.

Fill a pot to two thirds full of water and when boiled, blanch your tofu for 1 minute, drain and set aside. This helps firm the tofu and also gets rid of the slight beany flavour.

In a wok, add two tablespoons of oil, when hot, add in your mince and stir fry for 2 minutes, push the mince to one side of the wok and add in another tablespoon of oil, then add in your ginger, garlic, sichuan style chilli sauce, black beans, chilli powder, sugar. soy sauce, ground sichuan pepper powder and water. Stir fry all the ingredients together for 2minutes.

Add the tofu into the sauce mix and then thicken with the cornstarch and water mix. Garnish with some scallions. Ready to serve with some steamed jasmine rice.
