Microwave-Steamed Ground Beef and Tofu - Silken

Method

• Cut the ground pork and Japanese leek into small pieces.
• Grate the ginger.
• Combine in a bowl.
• Add the seasonings and mix.
• Using a spoon, scoop the tofu into a heatproof dish.
• Arrange so that they do not overlap.
• Pour Step 2 over the tofu.
• Rather than piling it up high, spread the ingredients out so that it heats evenly.
• Wrap with plastic wrap and microwave for 7 minutes.
• Use chopsticks to open a space in the middle and check to see if there's any red left to the meat.
• It's ready when the centers have cooked through.
• Transfer to dishes, breaking up the meat portion with the chopsticks.
• If the meat is still red, heat some more while keeping an eye on it.
• If you like it spicy, add some doubanjiang or ra-yu.
