About This Recipe

This savory pork belly and tofu stir-fry is a flavorful delight, combining tender pork belly, crispy water chestnuts, soft tofu, and hearty broad beans for a perfect texture balance. The pork belly is fried first to render its rich fat, enhancing the dish’s depth, while the tofu and broad beans are lightly pan-fried for extra crispiness. Aromatic fermented soybean paste, Shaoxing wine, and ginger add umami warmth, while dark and light soy sauces bring a delicate saltiness. Simmered to perfection, the ingredients meld into a rich, fragrant sauce that intensifies as it cooks. Quick, hearty, and packed with contrasting textures, this dish is a must-try for lovers of bold, homestyle flavors. Serve it over rice for a satisfying meal!

Stir-fry until it looks like this, and the aroma fills the air. Since there is no large non-stick pan at home, use a small non-stick pan to lightly fry the tofu dice. If using a non-stick pan, the tofu can be added directly.
