In a preheated wok on medium high heat, add the oil. Follow by minced garlic, ginger and white parts of the chopped green onion. Stir fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the ground meat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring with a spatula.
In a compact blender, blend together keto oyster sauce, white miso, chicken stock, water and sodium alginate to make a slurry.
Stir in the slurry, and season with mushroom seasoning and freshly ground black pepper. Add in the sambal oelek.
Add the tofu cubes and the green parts of the chopped green onions. Stir fry to combine the ingredients. Serve with konjac rice or cauliflower rice.

Notes

You can make your own soy free silken tofu by using eggs. Recipe inspiration shared by Iheart Umami: Chinese Egg Tofu (Keto, Instant Pot). To fry the medium firm soy-free tofu, simply shallow fry in avocado oil in a small saucepan. White miso is optional, but if preferred, substitute with organic white chickpea miso by Organic Matters.
