Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu, cut into 6 slices
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 boneless pork loin chops, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions
