Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz tofu (about 1.5 pouches from grocery store or 15 pieces)
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 3 medium tomatoes (vine ripened size) or 2 larger ones, cut into 8ths
  • 2 bulbs green onions, chopped

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Method
 

  1. Cut tomatoes and chop shallots and green onions.
  2. Mix pork with 1 tsp fish sauce and pepper
  3. Heat vegetable oil. Saute onions and shallots until softened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add meat and cook through, about 4 minutes.
  5. Add tofu and tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes soften and start to form a sauce, about 7 minutes
  6. Add chicken broth and half tsp of fish sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until combined.

Notes

Tip: many of my mom's stirfry recipes call for a bit of chicken broth. I found that I was wasting a lot of opened containers of chicken broth so I started to freeze them in our old baby food trays (this is the one we have). When I need it, I just pop out 1-2 cubes, which is the perfect amount for these kinds of dishes.
