Analyzing cooking steps...
Stir-fry garlic and ginger until crispy to create a delicious infused oil.
Cook the pork until crispy for better texture and flavor.
If you want a vegetarian version, replace pork with mushrooms and chicken stock with vegetable stock.
Cut the tofu into small cubes (about half an inch) so it's easy to scoop and eat with rice.
Gently stir the tofu into the sauce to avoid breaking the tender pieces.
Maangchi didn't add any sugar, relying on the natural sweetness of the onions.
