Ingredients

  • Mushrooms (a mix of white and oyster), 300g (10.5 oz)
  • Broccoli, 200g (7 oz)
  • Firm tofu, 400g (14 oz)
  • Soy sauce, 3 tablespoons (44.4ml)

  • Sesame oil, 2 teaspoons (9.9ml)

  • Shaoxing wine (optional), 1 tablespoon (14.8ml)

Method

  • Heat a large, 12-inch skillet over high heat (about 200°C/392°F) until hot. Add vegetable oil.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms, spreading them for maximum surface contact, and stir-fry until they begin to char, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Introduce ginger and garlic, stirring constantly to avoid burning, for about 1 minute.
  • Add broccoli and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the broccoli starts to soften.
  • Crumble the tofu into the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, and optional Shaoxing wine, stirring everything thoroughly to ensure the mushrooms are well-coated and glossy, for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Once everything is heated through and well-combined, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
