Ingredients:

Serving

2 baby leeks, cut diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices (1/2 lb total, white and pale green parts only)
10 oz firm tofu, drained, sliced , and cut diagonally into triangles
1 tbsp peanut oil
1/4 lb ground beef
1 tsp chinese rice wine (preferably shaoxing) or 1 tsp medium- dry sherry
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tbsp chili bean sauce
1 tsp minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tsp mild pure chile powder
1/2 tsp chinese fermented black beans , soaked in water 10 minutes and drained
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp potato starch or 1/2 tsp cornstarch, mixed with 2 tsp cold water
white rice
1/2 tsp szechuan peppercorns, toasted and ground with a mortar and pestle

Directions:

Wash leeks in cold water, and drain well.
Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon salt in 2 cups hot water, and add tofu. Soak 5 minutes, then drain.
Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add oil, swirling wok to coat, and heat until it begins to smoke. Add beef and stir-fry, breaking up lumps, until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce and stir-fry 30 seconds.
Add chile bean sauce and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add ginger, chile powder, and black beans and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth, remaining 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, and tofu, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring gently, about 2 minutes.
Add leeks and simmer, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir potato starch mixture and add to tofu, then cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.
This serves two people as a the main dish, or up to 10 people as part of a family-style meal with a variety of dishes.
