Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, vegetable broth, and cornstarch to make the sauce. Set this aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and sauté until golden brown on all sides, which should take about 5 minutes. Once done, remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return the tofu to the skillet. Pour the previously prepared sauce mixture over the tofu and mushrooms. Stir well to ensure everything is well-coated in the sauce.
- Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the stir fry from heat and sprinkle it with sliced green onions.
- Serve the mushroom and tofu stir fry over the cooked rice for a complete meal.
- Enjoy this healthy and flavorful dish!
