Fried beancurd with minced pork

Ingredients:
1 piece firm beancurd
1/3 cup of minced pork
2 shallots (sliced)
2 pip garlic (chopped)
1 tsp of light soy sauce
1/2 cup water (to add more if needed)

Seasoning:
Dark soy sauce
Salt (to taste)

Methods:

  1. Cut the beancurd into half then into slices (not too thin or else it will break into pieces).
  2. Mix the minced pork with 1 tsp of light soy sauce.
  3. In a heated wok add in 3 tbsp of cooking oil, turn the heat to medium then lay the sliced beancurd in the oil to fry. (do this in two batches)
  4. Once the beancurd is golden turn over the other side, repeat till all is done.
  5. Using the leftover oil fry the shallots and garlic till fragrant, add in the minced pork and stir well.
  6. Add in the fried beancurd, give it a mix then put in a bit of salt and dark soy sauce, then add water.  The amount of dark soy sauce depends on the type you use, as some are darker than the others.  
  7. Stir the dish often to ensure the beancurd is well simmered and the sauce and seasoning seeps through.  Taste to get the correct seasoning.
  8. When the dish is cooked, off the heat, put on a serving plate.
Note:  This simple home-cooked dish is one of my childhood favourite and has been pass down to my children.  The sauce which seeps into the fried beancurd is so tasty!
