Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 400g silken tofu (1 block)
• 100g fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 100g oyster mushrooms, torn
• 150g snow peas, trimmed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 10g ginger, sliced
• 3 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 0.5 tsp sugar
• 200ml vegetable broth or water
• 1 tbsp cornstarch, mixed with 2 tbsp water (cornstarch slurry)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp cooking oil

Steps

1. Carefully drain silken tofu and cut into cubes.
2. Heat cooking oil in a non-stick wok or pan over medium heat. Gently pan-fry tofu cubes until lightly golden on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic and ginger slices until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until softened.
5. Add snow peas and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until vibrant green.
6. Pour in vegetarian oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and vegetable broth/water. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
7. Gently return the pan-fried tofu cubes to the wok, coating them with the sauce. Be careful not to break the tofu.
8. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.
9. Stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.
10. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
