[Site News] Tofu and Pork Mince Patties

tutsdot.blogspot.com - Tofu and pork are perfect partners. As for this dish, the tofu, adding a refreshing note, helps turn the pork mince patties even more tender with moist. On the plate, a bed of crispy and crunchy lettuce to balance the texture will make you feel like never having enough of those pan-fried patties. Each bite of it that dipped in the delicious sauce will make your taste buds dance. Both my hubby and I found those four tofu and pork meat patties are really not enough. I have to double the portion when I make this dish next time.

By Christine's Recipes
Prep time: 10 mins + chilling time 30 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Yield:4 serves

Ingredients:

• 150 gm pork mince
• 1 piece, about 74 gm firm tofu
• 1 egg
• iceberg lettuce, shredded
• carrots, shredded

Marinade:

• 1 tsp light soy sauce
• 2 tsp corn flour / corn starch
• salt, to taste
• white pepper, to taste

Sauce:

• 3 Tbsp water
• 1 tsp light soy sauce
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp fish sauce

Method:

1. Wipe dry the tofu with kitchen papers. In a large mixing bowl, stir to combine the pork mince, tofu, egg and marinade very well. Chill in fridge for about 30 minutes.
2. Remove the tofu and pork from fridge. Divide into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball shape and flatten into a disc with your palms.
3. Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Pan-fry the tofu and pork patties until both sides are lightly brown. Cover and continue to cook about 4 minutes. Remove the lid and pour in the sauce. Bring it to boil. Done. Serve the fried patties hot on a plate with a bed of shredded lettuce and carrots. Pour sauce on top, or serve on the side for dipping.

Notes：

• By chilling the tofu and pork mince mixture, it helps the pork absorb more water and the marinade.
• Beware not to dry up the sauce. Once it boils, it’s done.
• The salt intensity of fish sauce is different from brand to brand. Please adjust the amount accordingly. I used Three Crabs brand fish sauce.
