PORK TOFU WITH WATERCRESS AND BEAN SPROUTS



Pork Tofu with Watercress and Bean Sprouts image

Tofu and watercress are a great, flavorful combination, and a wholesome one, too! My teenage boys who don't like greens actually love this dish. Red chile garlic paste can be substituted for the ground black pepper.

1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin, cut into 1/2 inch strips

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1 pound ground pork
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup snow peas
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch strips
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, plus more as needed
1 scant tablespoon honey
1 small knob fresh ginger, grated
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook the tofu: Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons oil. When the oil begins to smoke, remove the skillet from the heat and quickly (and carefully!) add the tofu in a single layer. Return the skillet to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the tofu is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully remove the tofu to a plate. Add the coriander seeds and toast for 15 seconds. Add the ground pork in a single layer, then sprinkle with salt and the red pepper flakes and brown over medium-high heat until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the pork to the tofu.
  • Cook the vegetables: Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining tablespoon oil. Stir in the garlic and scallions and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the snow peas and peppers and cook until they become tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, ginger and lemon zest and juice. Simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning.
  • Finish: Add the pork and tofu back to the skillet and gently stir to reheat and combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and add the vinegar and additional soy sauce to taste.
