Ingredients
  

For the Stir-fry

  • 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed Make sure to press to remove excess water.
  • 1 small head Napa cabbage, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced
  • 6-8 pieces dried black mushrooms, rehydrated and sliced (optional) Rehydrate in warm water until softened.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • vegetable oil for cooking
  • chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Press the tofu to remove excess water and cut into bite-sized cubes.
  • Chop the Napa cabbage and slice the carrots. If using, rehydrate the dried black mushrooms in warm water until softened and slice them.

Cooking

  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
  • Add tofu cubes and stir-fry until lightly browned on all sides. Remove tofu from the wok and set aside.
  • Add the carrots to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the Napa cabbage and black mushrooms (if using) and continue stir-frying until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
  • Return the tofu to the wok and pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Serving

  • Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra crispness, make sure to press the tofu well before cooking. Feel free to change up the vegetables based on availability or preference.
