Meanwhile, place ginger and peppercorns in a tea infuser or tie in a cheesecloth bag; place in a large pot. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove tea infuser (or cheesecloth bag). Add pork slices and marinade to infused broth and simmer until cooked through. About 2 minutes. Ad tofu cubes and simmer for several minutes to warm completely. Place several pork slices, some tofu cubes and a sprinkling of sliced scallions in each bowl, then ladle broth over. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.
