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. The pork is cooked until juicy and infused with aromatic spices, then simmered into a thick, glossy sauce that coats every bite. 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. Quick to prepare yet packed with deep, satisfying flavors, it’s a must-try for lovers of Chinese-inspired home cooking!
