Steps

1. Peel 1 New Onion (200g) and trim off the dirty root end.
   🕒 00:54
2. Slice the onion crosswise against the grain into approximately 1cm to 1.5cm thick rounds, cut into 4 pieces.
   🕒 01:05
3. Cut 1/2 block Firm Tofu (150g) into bite-sized pieces, about 6 portions.
   🕒 01:15
4. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
   🕒 01:20
5. Once the pan is hot, tear the 150g Thinly Sliced Pork into bite-sized pieces by hand and spread it out in the pan to prevent clumping.
   🕒 01:36
6. Once the pork is cooked and has changed color, remove it from the pan.
   🕒 01:53
7. In the same frying pan, arrange the cut Firm Tofu and New Onion.
   🕒 02:05
8. Once browned, flip them over and cook the other side until browned. [Key Tip!] Browning the ingredients well enhances their aroma and infuses the sauce with flavor.
   🕒 02:20
9. After both sides are browned, push the ingredients to the side to create space, and return the removed Thinly Sliced Pork.
   🕒 02:37
10. Add 150ml Water, 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, 2 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), and 2 tsp Sugar, then bring to a boil over medium heat.
    🕒 02:47
11. Once boiling, cover with aluminum foil or a lid and simmer over low-medium heat for about 5 minutes (until the liquid is reduced by about 1/3). [Key Tip!] Using a lid helps the onions cook thoroughly and become wonderfully tender.
