Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 8 oz pork into bite-size pieces and the 14 oz tofu into 1-inch cubes. Thinly slice the 2 scallions, separating white and green parts.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium pot, combine 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp chili oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  3. Step 3

    Add the pork and white scallion parts. Simmer until pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes, and no longer pink inside.

  4. Step 4

    Gently add the tofu cubes. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until tofu is heated through and broth is slightly reduced.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot, garnished with the green scallion parts. Add extra chili oil if you like more heat.
