Braised Fried Tofu with Pork

At Hong Kong’s Hakka 3 Generations restaurant, we ate braised deep-fried tofu topped with pork. Restaurants often fry tofu to deepen the flavor and enrich the color. When braised, the fried tofu soaks up the juices like a sponge and swells with flavorful succulence. The braising liquid turns into a warm brown sauce.
