Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
1/2 inch fresh ginger sliced
2 garlic chopped
1 teaspoon red chili flakes or fresh chili pepper, chop
1/4 pound lean ground pork or 1/4 lb. lean ground beef
2 green onion chopped
1/2 pound firm tofu or medium
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 cups cooked rice
sesame oil

Directions

1

Heat the wok or high-sided frypan over high heat and add oil. Add the ginger, garlic and chili to the wok, and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Then add the pork or beef and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to break up the clumps of meat.
2

In the meantime, have someone chop the green onions and cut the tofu into small cubes. Add the green onions and tofu to the wok and cook for 2 minutes, then add water.
3

Mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch in a small bowl, and pour it into the wok. The mixture will thicken as soon as it boils (almost right away). Stir and serve over rice, garnish with chopped green onions.
