香干肉 has been a house favorite here since the beginning of time. As you might guess we add julienned pork to this dish. As someone that makes this dish often this recipe is spot on!

Never seen five spice tofu (albeit I’ve never looked). Being in Vancouver I’m sure I can track some down :D Can’t wait to make this!
