  1. Cut the pork into 4 to 5 cm (2 in.) lengths. Use a spoon to completely remove seeds and cotton from the goya and then slice into 5 mm (0.2 in.) thick half moons, massage in some salt, set aside for about 5 minutes, then rinse off the salt under running water. Remove excess moisture from the tofu and cut into easy-to-eat slices. Beat the egg.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a fry pan over medium heat, add in the tofu and cook to golden brown. Next add in order the goya and then the pork, and continue to stir-fry.
  3. Once the ingredients are cooked through, adjust the flavor with the soy sauce, pour in the beaten egg, quickly cook to harden, then serve on plates with a sprinkle of dried bonito flakes on top.
