This week, I only got to cycle once (or twice?), but I managed to jog back home once as well. I used to try to jog home from work before I had a child too, once in a while, but that stopped after I had the boy because of the logistical arrangements to pick him up after school. Now that he&#8217;s much older, and in a student care nearer the house, I gave it a try again. It was tiring! But I was happy to have accomplished something that I haven&#8217;t done for the longest time in the new year. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This recipe is an alternative version of stuffed tofu. I love tofu dishes because they are light, soft, and goes well with chilli. So I love all sorts of dishes with tofu including yong tau foo, mapo tofu and so on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I much prefer the other version of<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/peepor.net\/pint\/blog\/?p=11558\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stuffed Tofu With Gravy<\/a><\/strong> that I did three and a half years ago. That one had a lighter sauce cooked with egg white. This sauce is saltier, and includes black beans, so it&#8217;s great for those of us who love black beans. If you are not a fan of it, not to worry, you can actually go without it to create a similar, lighter sauce as well. In any case, you don&#8217;t have to eat the black beans (I don&#8217;t). Just leave them aside and discard them after you are done with the tofu.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oil: 2 tbsp + 2 tbsp + 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Firm tofu: 2 small, quartered<\/li>\n<li>Minced pork: 80g<\/li>\n<li>Fish paste: 80g<\/li>\n<li>Garlic: 1, finely chopped<\/li>\n<li>Spring onion: 1 stalk, finely chopped<\/li>\n<li>Salt: 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Ground blackpepper: 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Ginger: 1.5 tbsp, minced<\/li>\n<li>Fermented black bean: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Oyster sauce: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Light soy sauce: 1.5 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Sesame oil: 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Water: 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Cornstarch mixture: 1.5 tsp cornstarch + 1.5 tsp water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Heat 2 tbsp oil in pan.
