I used ground pork because that's all i had handy.After i browned the meat i put it through a collander and rinsed the pork to reduce the fat .I also added some brown sugar to sweeten the sauce for my 4 picky eaters.They gobbled it all up.It was as good as mofu tofu served in my favorite Asian resturant.A nice easy recipe to follow too.Thanks so much Grace, mrssoupie
