  3. Stir-fry the chopped up pork in a large frying pan in a little oil until the meat is crumbly.
  4. Add the chopped up vegetables marked with ※ and stir-fry briefly, then add the doubanjiang and stir-fry a bit more.
  5. Add the combined sauce ingredients marked with ★, add the cut tofu and bring to a boil.
  6. Once the tofu has cooked through, swirl in the katakuriko slurry, agitate the pan and mix briskly. Avoid crushing the tofu!
  7. Turn the heat back on to low and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the katakuriko is cooked through. Finish off with a swirl of sesame oil to make the dish more fragrant, and it's done.
  8. You may end up with leftover katakuriko slurry. Add it slowly while watching the sauce, and stop when it has thickened to your preference.
