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.
Ingredients
- 1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin, cut into 1/2 inch strips
- 1 cup soy sauce
- ¾ cup water
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 bunches watercress – rinsed, dried, cut into 1/2 inch lengths, thick stems discarded
- 8 ounces bean sprouts
- 1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cubed
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
