# How to Make Shredded Pork with Smoked Tofu

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★

## Essential Ingredients and Tools

* Pork tenderloin (you can buy pre-cut and pre-weighed shredded pork at the supermarket)
* Smoked tofu (Xianggan)
* Salt
* Light soy sauce
* Cornstarch
* Garlic
* Green bell pepper
* Chicken bouillon powder

## Calculation

Before each preparation, determine how many servings you want to make. One serving is sufficient for 1 person.

Total quantities:

* Smoked tofu = Number of servings * 75g
* Number of green bell peppers = Number of servings * 5
* Amount of pork = Number of servings * 100g
* Amount of salt = Number of servings * 3g
* Light soy sauce = Number of servings * 5ml
* Cornstarch = Number of servings * 5g
* Garlic = Number of servings * 5g (approximately 3 cloves)
* Chicken bouillon powder = 2g

Use the above conditions to calculate the proportions of raw materials needed for your plan.

## Procedure

### Preparation

* Marinate the `shredded pork` (cut it yourself if you don't have it) by mixing it evenly with 3ml of light soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside.
* Wash the `green bell pepper`, then cut it using the `rolling knife technique` and set aside.
* Slice the `garlic` horizontally, and shred the `smoked tofu`.
* Mix the `cornstarch` with 10ml of water and stir evenly.

### Cooking

* Heat 15ml of oil in a clean wok. Do not wait for the oil to get hot; pour in the shredded pork and gently stir-fry until separated. Once the pork is cooked, remove it immediately, leaving the oil in the wok.
* Add the garlic slices and shredded smoked tofu to the wok. Add 2ml of light soy sauce and stir-fry evenly.
* After 2-3 minutes, depending on the heat level, add the shredded green bell peppers and stir-fry.
* After 1 minute, add the cooked pork back in and mix.
* Pour in the cornstarch and water mixture to thicken the sauce. Add 3g of salt and 2g of chicken bouillon powder. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
* The dish is ready.

Note: Different cookware or stoves may affect the stir-frying time. If you are unsure whether the ingredients are cooked, taste a small piece to check.

## Additional Notes

**For the peppers, choose green bell peppers; Screw peppers (Luo Si Jiao) are the best option. If you like spicy food, you can add finely chopped Millet peppers and add them together with the green bell peppers!**
