Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together ingredients for the SAUCE and set aside.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix together cornstarch and water for the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat up a wok or sauté pan over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Step 4
Turn the heat down to medium and add ginger. Sauté for about 10 seconds, just long enough to release its aroma.
Step 5
Add ground pork and garlic then use the spatula to break up the pork into small pieces.
Step 6
Once the pork is nicely browned, toss in the white parts of the scallions.
Step 7
Stir in the sauce and sauté until it becomes very fragrant.
Step 8
Add tofu and gently incorporate it into the sauce. Be careful not to break up the tofu.
Step 9
Add chicken stock then turn up the heat and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer until the tofu is heated through. Stir occasionally, again be careful not to break up the tofu.
Step 10
Give the cornstarch slurry a good mix. Push the tofu to the side and gently stir in half the cornstarch mixture. Allow it to return to a boil. You'll notice the sauce has thickened. Repeat with another tablespoon of cornstarch slurry until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 11
Sprinkle green parts of the scallions over the top and serve.
