1

Place the pork in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the pork is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce, water, ginger, and black pepper, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 40 minutes.

Stir in the watercress and bean sprouts, and keep simmering until tender but still crisp, about 10 minutes more. Add the tofu, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes more.
