Ingredients

• green onion
• shallots
• 2-3 cloves garlic
• mini sweet pepper
• soft tofu
• 3 oz minced pork
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp ground bean sauce
• water
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp chili sauce
• 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil

What it concludes

• You should use a strong straight up and down chopping motion with a cleaver rather than pushing and pulling.
• Soft tofu does not need to be pressed before cooking.
• Adding oil to a hot wok and spreading it prevents food from sticking.
• Using ground bean sauce instead of chili bean sauce keeps the dish mild while allowing you to adjust spiciness with added chili.
