Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
2 tablespoons coarsely grated fresh ginger
3/4 pound lean ground pork
8 cups broccoli florets (about 2 pounds whole broccoli)
1 pound firm tofu made with calcium sulfate, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup chicken stock, the no-salt-added variety
1/4 cup dry Sherry
3 tablespoons fermented black beans
2 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil, and saute the garlic, pepper flakes and ginger over medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring.
  • Add the pork, and stir to break up, cooking until the pork browns.
  • Add the broccoli, and stir well.
  • Stir in the tofu, stock, Sherry, black beans, sugar and soy sauce. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
  • Mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a smooth paste. Stir into the skillet, and cook over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt. Serve over cooked rice.
