Preparing the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the minced pork with cooking wine and mix until smooth.
- Add diced mushrooms, sweet onions, and cornflour to the pork mixture. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
-
Preparing the Bean Curd:
- Pat dry the bean curd pieces with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Heat oil in a pan for deep-frying.
- Carefully place the bean curd pieces into the hot oil and fry until the skin turns golden brown.
- Remove the fried bean curd from the oil and drain on paper towels. Let them cool slightly.
-
Stuffing the Bean Curd:
- Using a sharp knife, make a lateral slit on one side of each bean curd piece, ensuring not to slice through completely.
- Gently scoop out some of the bean curd from the pocket created by the slit.
- Fill each bean curd pocket generously with the prepared pork filling mixture.

Cooking the Stuffed Bean Curd:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir-fry the sliced sweet onions until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the stuffed bean curd pieces to the saucepan.
- Cover the saucepan and let the stuffed bean curd cook over low heat for about 5-6 minutes until the liquid reduces to about 3/4 cup.
- In a small bowl, mix together cornflour and water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the saucepan to thicken the gravy.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients and ensure the gravy thickens evenly.
- Finally, add chopped coriander leaves to the saucepan, stirring for a while before removing from heat.
