Ingredients

3 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 pound pork shoulder butt
2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
1 tablespoon ginger root fresh, minced
1/2 cup preserved radish
4 each bean curd squared canned, firm
2 each scallions, spring or green onions
Sauce
2 tablespoons peanut butter crunchy
1 tablespoon soy sauce, dark
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 each hot chili peppers red, dried
2 teaspoons sugar
1/3 cup stock
1/2 teaspoon monosodium glutamate optional

Directions

Soak radish in warm water for 45 minutes.

Cut pork into 1/2" cubes.

Drain and rinse canned bean curd; cut into 1/2" cubes. (If using fresh bean curd, wrap it in clean dish towel and press it for 1 hour to make it more firm. Wrap it tightly and use about a 5-pound weight.)

Drain radish & cut into 1/2" cubes.

Cut green onions, including tops, into 2" lengths.

Sauce:

In a cup, cream together peanut butter and soy sauce.

Slowly mix in remaining sauce ingredients.

Set aside.

Stir-frying:

Add oil to hot wok.

When oil starts to smoke, add pork. Stir-fry for about 1 minute.

Add garlic and ginger; stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Transfer pork to saucepan; add peanut sauce; heat and simmer for 15 minutes, adding onions about mid-way.

Skim off excess oil.

Add more stock if sauce thickens.

Steaming:

In Chinese steamer, steam radish & bean curd on its serving plate for 15 minutes, just prior to serving.

When ready to serve, drain water off plate, and top vegetables with pork and peanut sauce.
