Steps

1

Drain the tofu well. Finely chop the ginger, garlic, and green onion.
2

Mix the seasonings together in advance.
3

Heat a frying pan and add a little oil. Sauté the ginger, garlic, and green onion. When fragrant, add the doubanjiang and stir-fry.
4

Add the ground pork. When the meat changes color, add the seasoning mix from step 2.
5

When it comes to a boil, crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan.
6

Once it boils again, reduce to low heat and simmer for a while. Gradually add the potato starch slurry while checking the thickness until the sauce thickens.
7

Bring to a boil once more to remove any starchy taste, then turn off the heat. Add a dash of vinegar, transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with a little sesame oil, and sprinkle with green onion.
