Quick from Scratch: Tofu with Spicy Pork and Snow Peas

Continuing our Quick from Scratch series I present to you my absolute favorite recipe, the page in my copy of the cookbook that’s falling out : Tofu with Spicy Pork and Snow Peas, a.k.a Fu Manchu Pork. While I don’t know if Fu Manchu partook of this particular dish I’m sure it would be enjoyed by super-villain and super-hero alike. It’s similar to mapo tofu but not nearly as spicy or complex. However, it’s very comforting and easy to put together, and takes less than 30 minutes from start of prep to serving. It’s great over rice but we typically have it by itself as a sort of stew. Just tonight we had some kimchi on the side. Be sure to add the sesame oil at the end, it adds a wonderful nutty flavor you would definitely miss (it’s Sharon’s favorite part).

Lvely stuff. I’m a big fan of Mapo Tofu so this looks like a nice change.
I’ve never eaten tofu but this recipe makes me want to try it.It looks delicious. Very healthy too. 🙂
Did you make the kimchi in advance or did you buy it? It has to ferment doesn’t it?
This was bought at the Asian shop. I do want to try making kimchi, though.
I guess it would be similar to making sourkraut. Not sure that’s how you spell that.
Yay, a new quick meal recipe! Can’t wait to try this after my next trip to the grocery. Thanks Bill!
I made this tonight for dinner, and I wrote about my adventure making it. Thanks for the recipe, can’t wait for more. Love you guys!
