Tofu and Ground Pork with Peas image

My comfort food that my mom made it all the time. It's easy and tasty. My hubby loves it! If you want thicker sauce, add more cornstarch. Serve it on rice.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup chopped green onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas
1 (1 pound) package soft tofu, drained and cut into bite-size pieces
1 ½ cups water
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir green onion, garlic, and ginger in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Crumble ground pork into skillet, breaking it into small pieces with the back of a wooden spoon as you stir. Pour soy sauce over the pork mixture; cook and stir until the pork is completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir peas into the pork mixture; cook and stir until the peas are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Fold tofu into the pork mixture; cook until the tofu is hot, about 3 minutes.
Whisk water, oyster sauce, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper together in a bowl; stir gently into the pork and tofu mixture. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
