Steps
- Cut Pork Belly 50g into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut Thick Fried Tofu 1 pack (approx. 200g) in half horizontally, then cut into diagonal triangles.
- Boil the cut Thick Fried Tofu in boiling water for about 2 minutes to remove excess oil.

- Cut Bamboo Shoots 50g, Shiitake Mushrooms 50g, and Green Pepper 1 into bite-sized pieces respectively.
- Thinly slice Leek 1 tbsp, Ginger 1 tbsp, and Garlic 2 cloves.
- In a frying pan, add Pork Belly 50g, Leek 1 tbsp, Ginger 1 tbsp, and Garlic 2 cloves. Stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant.
- Once fragrant, drizzle in White Sesame Oil 1+ tbsp and reduce heat to low.
- Add Doubanjiang (Spicy Bean Paste) 1 tsp and stir-fry. When fragrant, add Sweet Bean Paste 3 tbsp and stir-fry further.
- Add Shaoxing Wine 2 tbsp and Soy Sauce 1 tbsp, then add approx. 300ml of the water used to boil the tofu.
- Add the Thick Fried Tofu, Bamboo Shoots, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Sugar 2 tsp.
- Once boiling, reduce heat, cover with a lid, and simmer over medium heat for 6 minutes.
- After simmering, add Chicken Bouillon Powder 1/2 tsp and mix well.
- Drizzle in Beaten Egg 2.
- Scatter Green Pepper, cover with a lid again, and cook for 1 minute.
- When the egg is half-cooked, drizzle in Sesame Oil 1+ tbsp and Chili Oil (to taste), then serve. [Here's the trick!] Instead of using a cornstarch slurry, using beaten egg results in a nutritious and home-style dish that pairs perfectly with rice.
