I find this dish has a very mild "cheesy" taste, from the extra-firm tofu we use.  It is so easy, and I usually have the needed ingredients on hand.  Not to mention, it is great comfort food.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 piece ginger (3/4 in section) or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 green onions
• 4 garlic cloves
• 12 oz extra-firm tofu
• 1 teaspoon peanut or vegetable oil
• 1/2 pound ground beef or pork
• 1 zucchini
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 2-3 tablespoons black bean sauce
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1-2 small chile peppers diced or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• Sesame Oil (optional)
• Chili Oil (optional)
• Hot Rice

Peel ginger and mince.  Remove root end and any wilted parts from the green onions, rinse the rest and cut into rings.  Peel garlic and mince.  Cut Tofu into 1/2 inch cubes.  Heat oil in a wok or pan, add ginger and garlic and saute for 1 min.  Add ground meat and stir fry until lightly browned and crumbly.

Spoon bean sauce in and stir, pour chicken broth in and heat.  Add Tofu and zucchini to the mix and heat for about 5 minutes.  Add green onions and bean sprouts, heat for 2 min.  Serve with sesame oil and hot chili oil alongside for drizzling as condiments.

Serve over hot brown or white rice
