Ingredients
- Pork
- 5 oz minced pork
- 1 tbsp minced shallot
- 1 tsp bouillon
- 1 tsp Red Boat fish sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 lb garlic chives (standard or flowering)
- 1 lb soft tofu (not silken tofu)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 6 cups water
- 1 tbsp bouillon
-
Fish sauce (to taste)
Directions
Mince shallot.
- In a bowl, combine the minced shallot and other ingredients in the Pork section and mix well. Let sit to marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Cut off tough root ends of garlic chives and cut into 1-inch lengths.
- Strain tofu if needed and gently cut into slices, then bite-sized cubes.
- In a pot, heat vegetable oil on medium.
- Add the seasoned minced pork and sauté, breaking up the chunks into small crumbles.
- When most of the pork is no longer pink, add water and bring to boil on medium high.
- Skim any impurities that rise to the surface.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add in the tofu.
- Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add chives, reduce heat to low, and use a ladle to press down on the chives so they all get submerged.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Season to taste with bouillon powder and fish sauce, then remove from heat.
