High-Protein Braised Minced Pork Tofu with Shiitake Mushrooms

1. Place silken tofu on a heatproof plate and steam for 5–6 minutes (optional-can eat cold). Carefully drain excess liquid. 
2. Cook aromatics: In a saucepan, add garlic, shallot, and chopped shiitake with a splash of stock or water. Sauté until fragrant.
3. Brown pork: Add ground pork, breaking it up until lightly browned.
4. Braise: Stir in soy sauces, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, honey, and white pepper. Add ~½ cup water or stock. Simmer 8–10 minutes until flavors develop.
5. Thicken: Stir in cornstarch slurry. Simmer until glossy and sauce coats the pork and shiitake.
6. Assemble: Spoon braised minced pork mixture over steamed or cold tofu. Garnish with spring onion.
