Steamed Tofu with Ground Pork

Steamed Tofu with Ground Pork

This savory **Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork** is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender tofu with rich, flavorful pork in a fragrant sauce. Thin slices of silky tofu are steamed to perfection, then topped with a stir-fried mixture of minced pork, garlic, and red pepper, seasoned with umami-packed **yellow bean paste** and **oyster sauce**.

A final quick steam melds the flavors together, creating a harmonious balance of textures—soft tofu and savory pork—with a hint of spice from the red pepper. Garnished with fresh scallions, this dish is a comforting yet elegant meal that’s perfect over rice.
