Ground Pork Tofu Pudding

　　500 grams of soybeans, 5500 grams of water, 500 grams of minced pork, gypsum powder (or nigari), broad bean paste, salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG), sugar, soy sauce, diced carrots, diced bamboo shoots, chopped scallions, and minced ginger, as needed.

　　 1. Wash the soybeans and soak them in water for 3 hours.

　　 2. Add the soaked soybeans to 2500–3000 grams of water and grind into soymilk. Then pour it into a pot along with the remaining water and bring to a boil. In a clean bowl, dissolve the gypsum powder in water, then add the boiled soymilk. Once set, it will form tofu pudding.

　　 3. Heat a wok, add oil, and stir-fry the minced pork until it breaks apart. Add the minced scallions, ginger, and broad bean paste, and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add salt, MSG, sugar, soy sauce, diced carrots, and diced bamboo shoots to make the sauce.
