Directions

  1. Cut tofu into 4 slices. Place tofu between 2 paper towels. Let stand until paper towels have absorbed much of the liquid, about 10 minutes. Drain and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.

  2. Whisk chicken broth, chile-garlic sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and black bean sauce together in a bowl.

  3. Heat a wok or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pork, cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth mixture, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer sauce until thickened, about 2 minutes.

  4. Toss cubed tofu into the sauce, simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in green onions. Spoon ma po tofu over hot rice. Season with black pepper.
