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.

TOFU AND BEAN SPROUTS



Tofu and Bean Sprouts image

I first had a taste of this dish when my husband's aunt shared this with us. I thought it was quite okay though I am not sure if it was Vietnamese or Filipino recipe. My husband didn't like it. I appreciate it, anyway. But, I guess, a dish is a dish as long as we enjoy it.
