Vegetable Five Spice Tofu Stir-Fry
Description
The recipe starts by julienning tofu and a selection of vegetables including celery, king oyster mushrooms, reconstituted shiitake mushrooms, carrot, and red bell pepper. The tofu is stir-fried separately until it gains a slight crispness, then set aside. Next, the vegetables are stir-fried in two stages with a pinch of sugar to balance flavors. The tofu is then returned to the wok along with Shaoxing wine, salt, five spice powder, white pepper, and soy sauce, cooking together for several more minutes.
This method offers a balance between tender vegetables and tofu with a gentle aromatic quality from five spice powder. The soy sauce and Shaoxing wine provide umami and a hint of acidity. The dish delivers a combination of textures from the crisp celery and tender mushrooms, enhanced by the mildly sweet and savory seasoning.
The stir-fry can be served hot as a light main or a vegetable side. Its moderate seasoning allows it to pair well with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
