Keto Taiwanese Meat Sauce with Tofu

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground pork
• 1 block Firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 1/4 cup Soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp Erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
• 1/2 cup Dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked and sliced
• 1/2 cup Chicken broth
• 1/4 cup Green onions, chopped

Instructions

1. 1Place a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (350°F/175°C). Add the 1 lb ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink and is well-browned, about 5-7 minutes. Carefully drain off any excess fat from the skillet.
2. 2Add the 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp minced ginger to the skillet with the pork. Sauté, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. 3Add the 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms and the 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cubed, to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, allowing the tofu to lightly brown.
4. 4Pour in the 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener, and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. 5Reduce the heat to low (250°F/120°C), cover the skillet, and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally. The sauce should thicken, and the flavors will meld together. The tofu should be heated through and have absorbed some of the sauce.
6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup chopped green onions just before serving.
