Here is my latest version of the Chinese classic. I love adding the shrimps to the dish which is not traditional but works so well with the pork. This one is spicy and fiery and so delicious!

1/2 teaspoon crushed Sichuan peppercorns

Directions

Start by making the sauce combine all the ingredients together and mix well and set aside. Hot pan and no oil (oil will render from the pork) put in your ground pork with a little kosher salt and cook it until there is no pink left. Now add the shrimp and stir fry for a min.

Give your sauce another mix and pour into the pan and let it start to bubble. Now add the tofu and you have to handle it with care here you cannot toss it you need to nestled it in the sauce carefully and turning it over once to make sure its all covered. Cook for about 5 min and taste the sauce check for seasoning and flavor intensity. When the sauce is thickened slightly it's ready.

Serve with rice or for low carb eat it on its own and garnish with plenty of chopped scallion.

Enjoy!
