Home-style tofu

Method

1. 1 Cut the tofu into 1 cm thick triangular slices and pat both sides dry.
2. 2 Fry the tofu in oil for 4 minutes on each side until the outer skin is crispy and golden brown, then remove from the oil.
3. 3 Frying the tofu first is key to this dish; fresh tofu dropped into the sauce will break apart and won't have a chewy outer layer.
4. 4 Fry the sliced pork belly in the same pan for 4 minutes, then add the soybean paste and fermented bean curd and stir for 90 seconds.
5. 5 Add the diagonally sliced leeks and ginger, then stir for 60 seconds.
6. 6 Add the tofu, season with soy sauce mixed with cornstarch, then toss the pan for 40 seconds to coat with the sauce.
