This recipe has been used many times since I became a part time vegan. My mom will cook this in many variations for dinner quite often. It is a nice tofu dish and I love mushrooms so it's an easy way to cook for me to accommodate my diet! I eat this almost twice a week and it's nice every time.
Well, start with some basic ingredients of tofu and enoki mushrooms, washed. Add some sliced carrots for a pop of colour. As usual, use garlic as a base note. And add some Chinese celery or parsley to add freshness. This whole dish has so few ingredients! Also added is oyster sauce and cornflour later on while cooking. Soy sauce is optional.
First, slice the tofu and fry in oil on both sides until browned. Then dish it out and set aside. This is so the tofu is crispy on the outside. The mushroom sauce goes on top later on.
Then, fry the garlic and add in mushrooms and carrot. Stir fry a while and add a bit of water. Once cooked, add in oyster sauce and mix in.
Add water and cornflour until thickened. Lastly, add the tofu back in and stir to coat. Add in parsley at the end. Then turn off the heat and dish out.
Voila! You have a nice tofu dish that is simple and nutritious! And easy to make. Dinner is served. Eat with white rice and a veg. Below is the recipe.
