Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli with Pork and Tofu

A savory dish that has a great balance between protein and vegetables. For this dish, you can substitute pork with other types of lean protein such as lean beef slices, chicken breast, and shrimp. When you choose to use thicker cuts, make sure to cook it thoroughly (which may require longer cooking time).
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

1 lb. of Chinese broccoli, washed and cleaned thoroughly 1 pack of firm tofu, drained and sliced 1-2 tbsp. of olive or sesame oil 1 clove of garlic, minced 3 oz. of thinly sliced lean pork 2 tbsp. of soy sauce 1 inch of ginger root, minced 1 tbsp. of cooking rice wine or dry sherry 1 tsp. of oyster sauce

Directions

To clean the Chinese broccoli: Cut off the very end of the broccoli stalk (approximately 1–inch from the bottom). With a peeler or a knife, trim the fibrous outer layer part of the stalk. Then, chop the Chinese broccoli (leaves and edible stalk) into about 3 inches in length. Set aside. In a large wok, heat olive or sesame oil over medium heat. Stir-fry the tofu slices until light golden brown and crispy on the outside. Remove tofu from the wok. Set aside. In the same wok, over medium heat, stir-fry minced ginger and garlic until fragrant for about 30 seconds. Add pork slices, soy sauce, and oyster sauce together. Cook for1-2 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked. Add Chinese broccoli, and cook for additional 3 minutes. Place the tofu back into the wok. Add cooking wine or dry sherry. Mix carefully (so that the tofu will not crumble) and continue cooking for additional 30-45 seconds over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
