This is a simple and easy dish, it is delicious especially paired with white rice…no need to mention that it makes a great lunch next day. Every time I make this dish, I end up having more than one bowl of rice. I used pork chop in this dish and the frozen French beans from Trader Joe’s. You can always use fresh beans or chicken if you do not care for pork. Just make sure that the beans are not over cooked.
Ingredients:
1 lb of pork chop, cut in thin strips
3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1½ tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup string bean, frozen of fresh
5-6 oz of dry tofu cut in strips
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Marinate the pork strips with garlic, ½ tablespoon of olive oil, cornstarch, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Let it sit for a few minutes.
In a wok, add the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil, pan fry the pork strips. Make sure that the pork in thoroughly cooked.
Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan add the tofu strips and a couple of tablespoons of water, cook until the tofu is somehow soft.
Stir in the pre-cooked beans and cook for a minute or so, and add the pork. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with rice.

Did you know that tofu is a product made from coagulation of soy milk? Similar to the production of cheese depending of the amount of water extracted tofu can be found in many different textures.
Thank you for stopping by Simple Recipes and have a great week!

This sounds simply delicious, especially with lots of rice. I love tofu, and the fact that it’s good for you makes it even better!
Hi Juliana, delicious dish and it sure look appetizing. The dry tofu look delicious. I think I can have extra rice no problem.

Looks great – never though to use tofu like that – almost looks like noodles! Have a great week!

This sounds simple but delicious-my favourite combo!
My son is a tofu lover so I think this dish would be perfect for him! I love pork so both of us have something that we like in this one! Have a great week Juliana!
I’m intrigued by the dry pressed tofu, looks good with your marinated pork and green beans
Oooh…a very delicious Chinese dish. I can eat this any meal…..mmmm
Sounds good and healthy!
I like dry pressed tofu and this dish looks very healthy and delicious to eat.
Oh Juliana! You’re making me so hungry with your wonderful and wholesome home-cooked meals!! Pork, tofu and green beans! What a great combination! Your family must really love this. and hahaa.. I wish we had Trader Joe’s here. It is such a happy place.
I make something really simple at home too. I usually add shitake mushrooms in this as well. My hubby’s all time favorite savory dish!
Nice mix of meat and tofu. This looks simple and delicious. have a great week Juliana!
I should cook more with dried tofu! Thanks for the inspiration, Juliana. Have a wonderful week, Nancy
Bet the dry tofu adds so much more flavor!! yum!
Have a great week my friend
This looks so delicious! I am big on tofu wish I could just taste this right away!
I make a similar dish but I also add onion, garlic greens or Chinese chives depending on the season,
I’ve never seen dried tofu. I just google it. It sounds delicious!
With some steamed white rice, this is a perfect dinner.
As usual just gorgeous! Perfect lunch or dinner.
Dearest Juliana! That looks delightful. And I love that you posted this recipe– the combination of tofu and pork sounds wonderful
Thank YOU for visiting me and for your LOVELY words 
Hope you’re having a great week!

Any food cooked in Asian style is my food. Simple yet tempting and just like you, I will need another bowl of rice. I will try with chicken for a change but the rest of the ingredients will remain as yours.
I love your dish, Juliana. Sounds light and delicious. Just my type of food!
Juliana, your Asian Pork inspired dish looks so good with the green beans, and the tofu strips really make it even more healthy, and delicious. I’ve never seen dry tofu in our supermarkets…will have to look for it at our local green market!
A very original and very tempting stir fry! I love both tofu and pork but I have never stir-fried them together. I have never tasted dry tofu either, so thank you for using it here. One lives and learns!
I’m dying to get my hands on tofu like that! For all the options we have in mainstream markets now, it’s still impossible to find more “authentic” Chinese versions. I love how you can slice it so thin, almost like soybean-based noodles. How tempting!
This dish looks so yummy. It would make the perfect dinner.
The next time I find myself browsing the different brands of tofu…I’ll have to make a better effort to find ‘dry’ tofu. Honestly Juliana…I’ve never come across it. When I do find it, I’ll really look forward to comparing it to what I usually purchase. Thanks for enlightening me on this product ;o)
Happy Thanksgiving and flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Love this simple yet delicious looking dish.
I’ve got some tofu in the pantry that has been staring at me for days, just BEGGIN me to do something delicious with it
I’m thinking this is a winner!
this is one protein-packed meal, juliana! very nice.
Oh, boy, does this look fantastic! I always seem to go for chicken when I stir fry, but your pork would taste amazing! Hubby would enjoy it, too!
This is such a tasty looking dinner! Easy yet so healthy & colourful too!
Have a great & fun week ahead, Juliana!
Hi Juliana, it’s been a while but I am happy to be back to the blogosphere. This pork dish is what I call every-day-Chinese-stir-fry. I used to eat something like this almost everyday when I lived in China. I like how you balance out the pork with the healthy dried tofu and green bean combination! Thanks for the recipe!
Great way to use tofu! I love the stuff, and particularly like it when combined with meat. I’m making a similar pork-based stir-fry for dinner tonight. Good stuff – thanks.
