Instructions

1. Remove the tofu from its package, rinse it, drain it, and wrap it in 3 layers of paper towels. Press to squeeze out excess liquid, then unwrap.
2. Cut the tofu horizontally through the middle, then make 5 even vertical cuts to get 12 flat square pieces.
3. Marinate the ground pork with oyster sauce, garlic and the white parts of the green onion.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same pan, add the marinated pork and cook about 2 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
6. Simmer the tomatoes over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Season with ketchup, fish sauce and black pepper.
7. Return the fried tofu to the pan, stir briefly, and garnish with the remaining green onion.
