Step 1

Casually remove moisture from tofu and cut into 1.5cm trapezoid shaped "cubes".

Step 2

In a fry pan, heat up oil. Add pork to the pan and cook on high heat. Once it changes colour, add sake, and remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan as the pork, add garlic and the white-ends of the green onion. Cook on high heat, once fragrant (<1min), add the doubanjiang paste and cook for another minute.

Step 4

In the pan from step 3, add the cut up tofu and ground meat from before. Stir so they are coated in sauce, but be careful not to break the tofu into pieces that are too small.

Step 5

To the same pan, add the soup stock, soy sauce, oyster sauce, MSG. Cook everything on medium-low heat for 10mins.

Step 6

To finish it off, add the cornstarch slurry to thicken the liquid. Drizzle sesame oil to add flavour.
