Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Julienne the meat to ¼-inch thickness.
- Mix the meat together with the marinade ingredients until there is no visible standing liquid.
- Marinate for 15-20 minutes while you prepare everything else.
- Preheat the wok over high heat.
- When the wok starts smoking, add 2½ tablespoons oil.
- Immediately reduce the heat to medium, and cook the ginger for 30 seconds.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 15 seconds.
- Next, add in the pork, turn the heat back up, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the pork has cooked through.
- Resist the urge to stir too much, so the pork can brown lightly.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add ¼ teaspoon dark soy sauce.
- Stir-fry everything well.
- Add the tofu sheets and peppers.
- Stir fry everything together, and season with 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and ¼ teaspoon white pepper powder.
- Turn up the heat, and stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes.
- The dish is complete when the peppers are just tender, but still slightly crisp.
- As you stir-fry, keep an eye on the sauce: if the food is too dry and beginning to stick or burn, add a tablespoon of water.
- If you end up with an excess of visible sauce, keep stir-frying with the heat on high until everything is just lightly coated in sauce.
