Recipe: Braised Tofu with Ground Pork

Braised Tofu with Ground Pork Recipe

I should be veering away from tofu considering the food poisoning incident that happened to me a few months ago.  But what the heck, I learned that if we get tofu, we should consume it within 3 weeks.  Now, I made sure I followed that rule.  I never ever wanted to remove tofu in my diet because it is extremely delicious!

While I was searching for recipes online, the thing that I was looking for was the ease of cooking the dish.  Steamy Chicken posted a recipe with a video on how to prepare Chinese braised tofu with ground pork.  I had to watch the video several times, but the recipe was really easy to follow.  So there, I tried making my own version 🙂
