Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • Ground pork 150g
  • Bok choy 2 bunches
  • Green onion 1/2 stalk
  • Fried tofu (Atsuage) 1 sheet
  • Potato starch slurry 1.5 tbsp

Seasonings

  • Sesame oil 1 tbsp
  • Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese seven spice) a pinch
  • [A] Dashi stock 150cc
  • [A] Oyster sauce 2 tbsp
  • [A] Soy sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp

Steps

  1. Cut off the base of the bok choy, separate the leaves, wash in water, and cut into stalks and leaves.
  2. Cut the bok choy stalks diagonally.
  3. Cut the bok choy leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Slice the green onion diagonally.
  5. Cut the fried tofu into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add 150g ground pork and stir-fry until the moisture evaporates. This step removes the gamey smell of the pork and makes it more delicious.
  7. Once the pork is partially cooked, add 1 sheet of fried tofu cut into bite-sized pieces and stir-fry until the white parts develop some browning. Browning the white parts of the fried tofu adds a nice aroma.
  8. Add the bok choy and green onion and stir-fry until wilted.
  9. Once coated with oil, add [A] ingredients: 150cc dashi stock, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine), and 1 tbsp sugar. Cook over medium to low heat for about 2 minutes.
  10. Turn off the heat and add 1.5 tbsp potato starch slurry, mixing well. Adding the potato starch slurry while the heat is off prevents lumps and helps create a smooth thickening.
  11. Turn the heat back on and bring to a boil, ensuring it boils thoroughly to stabilize the thickened sauce.
  12. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with a pinch of shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) if desired.
