Deconstruct… Reverse Engineering… Copy … This is what I do when I eat out. If I like it, I’ll try recreating it at home.
So this dish is somewhat copied from the Tofu Steak over at the fast food place called Karate Kid, although the mushrooms are different and I’m sure the seasoning is different too.
4 pcs. tokwa/ tofu
1/4 kl ground beef
1 can button mushrooms
2 tbsp. Lee Kum Kee superior soy sauce
2 tbsp. Datu Puti soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp flour/ cornstarch dissolved in 4 tbsp. water
Cut tokwa to your preferred sizes. Fry until golden brown. Take the tokwa out of the frying pan to drain on paper towels. Set heat to low. Take out all of the oil and add the ground pork until it changes color. Add the mushrooms, soy sauce and seasoning. Let it simmer for 2 minutes. Add the flour solution.
Taste the pork mixture, if you find it too salty, add 1 or 2 tbsp of water. Simmer.
Set the tokwa on a serving or sizzling plate and top with pork mixture. Will make at least 2 servings when using a sizzling plate.
