Tofu and watercress are a great, flavorful combination, and a wholesome one, too! My teenage boys who don't like greens actually love this dish. Red chile garlic paste can be substituted for the ground black pepper.

Steps:
- Put oil in a deep 10-inch skillet or wok, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium-high. A minute later, add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes, and cook just until they begin to sizzle, less than a minute. Add pork, and stir to break it up; cook, stirring occasionally, until it loses most of its pink color.
- Add scallions and stir; add stock. Cook for a minute or so, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon if necessary to loosen any stuck bits of meat, then add tofu. Cook, stirring once or twice, until tofu is heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce; taste, and add salt and red pepper flakes as necessary. Garnish with cilantro if you like, and serve.

Steps:
- Cook the tofu: Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons oil. When the oil begins to smoke, remove the skillet from the heat and quickly (and carefully!) add the tofu in a single layer. Return the skillet to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the tofu is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully remove the tofu to a plate. Add the coriander seeds and toast for 15 seconds. Add the ground pork in a single layer, then sprinkle with salt and the red pepper flakes and brown over medium-high heat until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the pork to the tofu.
- Cook the vegetables: Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining tablespoon oil. Stir in the garlic and scallions and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the snow peas and peppers and cook until they become tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, ginger and lemon zest and juice. Simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning.
- Finish: Add the pork and tofu back to the skillet and gently stir to reheat and combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and add the vinegar and additional soy sauce to taste.
SPICY PORK TOFU
Steps:
- Sprinkle cabbage with the 1/2 tablespoon of salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Place the cabbage on a clean dish towel or cheese cloth and squeeze out any water. The dryer the cabbage, the better.

Deglaze with soy sauce, add napa cabbage and sesame oil, continue cooking until the cabbage is wilted. Check seasoning.
- Plating: Spoon contents of wok over the tofu on a large serving platter, serve family style.
BBQ PORK WITH TOFU AND PEA PODS IN HOT BEAN SAUCE
This is a dish I developed with my chef when I still owned my restaurant. It's easy enough to make your own Chinese bbq pork (most Chinese cookbooks have recipes) but I almost always buy it in Chinatown; it can make a mess of your oven if you do it yourself. The hot bean sauce comes in cans and keeps for a long time refrigerated. (Transfer to a plastic container with a tight cove

Steps:
- Have a pot of boiling water handy when starting to cook this recipe.
- Keep a bowl handy lined with a sieve.
- When ready to start cooking carefully put the tofu into the boiling water.
- Heat wok to smoking; add a tablespoon or two of oil and stir in seasonings.
- (Note: if the wok looks too dry during cooking, just add a little more oil by pouring it directly onto the hot metal).
- As soon as the seasonings start to give off a pungent aroma add the bbq pork and stir fry for 2- 3 minutes to coat with oil and seasonings and to heat through.
- Add the pea pods and continue stirring until they're hot.
- Pour the tofu into a colander or sieve and let it drain while you continue the recipe.
- Give the sauce ingredients a good stir and pour into the wok, trying to hit the metal surface rather than the contents.
- When it starts to bubble thicken it with a little of the binder.
- (The secret is to just draw the sauce together without making it gummy).
- Stir in a few drops of the sesame oil.
- Very carefully stir and toss in the tofu.
- Serve immediately on a heated platter with steamed rice.

Tips for Making Pork with Tofu (Butadofu)
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful pork and firm, smooth tofu. Look for pork that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep it moist and tender during cooking.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sake will help tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Sear the pork: Searing the pork in a hot pan will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. Be sure to sear the pork in a single layer, and don't overcrowd the pan, or the pork will steam instead of sear.
- Simmer the pork and tofu: After searing the pork, add it to a pot with the tofu and the remaining marinade ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the pork and tofu for at least 30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the tofu is heated through.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Pork with tofu (butadofu) can be served with a variety of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
