Felt a little Iron Chef inspired so just made my favorite childhood dish.....
Seems like a mess, but it consists of beancurd, pork loin, and chives. A very simple stir fry dish that is very texture dependent on the knife work of the chef. Key is to slice/chop all ingredients to same length and width when COOKED. I went a bit heavy on the sugar and hoisin sauce but my first time so I'll adjust in round 2. Got the recipe from here

Do not use nonstick pans as you want to brown the meat and beancurd to get that roasty flavor. Next time I'll add some squid, peanuts and chili peppers to make it Haka style.
Of course I can just buy this from Chef Chen, Tri-village, Asian tapas, etc... But cooking once in awhile is good for the soul.
