Ingredients
For the Sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce light
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
For Everything Else
- 530 grams tofu soft
- 3 egg
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
Instructions
- In a large pot, add a trivet into the bottom and pour enough water into the pot to just reach the trivet. Bring the water to a boil with the lid on.
- Meanwhile, mix together the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, shaoxing wine, brown sugar, and cornstarch.
- Add the eggs, 3 tablespoons of water, and sesame oil to a mixing bowl or large measuring cup or bowl. Whisk together.
- Slice the tofu and add it to the heat-proof dish. Pour the egg mixture overtop.
- Once the water in the pot is boiling, carefully place the heat-proof dish on top of the trivet. Place the lid on top and steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, as the egg mixture steams, place the ground pork into a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and break up the pork into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic.
- When the pork is 50% browned, give the sauce a stir if the cornstarch has sunk to the bottom of the bowl, and pour the sauce over the pork. Continue to sauté until the pork is cooked through.
- Carefully remove the steamed egg and tofu from the pot.
- Place the cooked pork over the steamed tofu and egg. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
