Ingredients
- 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1 package tofu firm, 14 ounces, drained
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 onion small, peeled and sliced thinly
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 bunch asparagus about 2 cups, ends trimmed and cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces
For the Stir-fry Sauce
- 1 cup water or liquid from soaking mushrooms
- ½ cup vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce light, I use Kikkoman
- ¼ cup Chinese cooking wine
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, cover mushrooms with warm water and soak for about 20 to 30 minutes or until soft.
- Drain mushrooms and reserve 1 cup of the liquid if using. Cut off and discard stems. Cut caps into thin slices.
- Drain tofu well and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine stir-fry sauce ingredients: water (liquid from soaking mushrooms), oyster sauce, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, sugar, cornstarch, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended. Set aside.
- In a wide skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add asparagus and cook, stirring regularly, for 3 to 4 minutes or until half-done.
- Add mushrooms and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add stir-fry sauce and bring to a simmer for about 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Add tofu and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until tofu cubes are heated through and asparagus is tender-crisp. Serve hot.
Notes
- The recipe calls for firm tofu, but you substitute soft tofu if you prefer the texture. There is no need to fry it; add during the last minutes of cooking time and stir gently to keep from falling apart.
