How To Cook Mushroom And Tofu Stir-Fry In One Pan
Get the Tofu Ready
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes after pressing it to get rid of extra moisture. To help the tofu get crispy when cooking, lightly cover it with cornstarch.
Cook the mushrooms in a pan over medium-high heat.
In a big pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them for about 5 minutes, or until they start to release their moisture and turn golden brown. Move them to the side of the pan.
Make the Tofu Crispy
Put the rest of the oil in the same pan. Put the tofu cubes in a single layer and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Add herbs and vegetables
If you are using bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli, add them to the pan with the tofu. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the food is soft but still crunchy.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and simmer for about 30 seconds, or until the smell fills the air.
Make the sauce.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Put the sauce on top of the tofu and vegetables. Mix everything together and let the sauce thicken for one to two minutes.
Serve and enjoy
Take it off the fire and top it with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve right away on top of rice or noodles.
