Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil, and saute the garlic, pepper flakes and ginger over medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring.

  2. Step 2

    Add the pork, and stir to break up, cooking until the pork browns.

  3. Step 3

    Add the broccoli, and stir well.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the tofu, stock, Sherry, black beans, sugar and soy sauce. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.

    Mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a smooth paste. Stir into the skillet, and cook over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt. Serve over cooked rice.
