Shredded Pork with 5 Spice Tofu 香干肉絲

This stir-fry is extremely common throughout Taiwan. Every restaurant puts its own spin on it, because the ingredients are completely flexible and easy to modify to your liking. Remove the meat and make it a vegetarian dish. If you can't find Chinese chives, substitute with green onions. The Hakka style of this dish uses Chinese celery and seafood. Experiment and make it your own.
