Tofu and mushrooms with bean sprouts and spinach

I like vegetables but I’m not really a raw vegetable salad person. And I like more than greens in my vegetable dishes. I like colors and textures and an interplay of shapes and sizes. This tofu and mushrooms with bean sprouts and spinach satisfies all those requirements.

Spinach and mung been sprouts take very little time to cook. Take care not to overcook them so that they don’t turn mushy.

I used sliced white button mushrooms but, if you have some, shiitake would be an even better choice. If using dried mushrooms, rehydrate before adding to the pan (see how to cook with dried mushrooms).

  • Add the fried tofu. Stir fry for another 30 seconds or just until the tofu cubes are heated through and the seasonings are well-distributed. Turn off the heat, drizzle with a little sesame seed oil and serve at once.

Cook's Notes

To make sure that the vegetables do not turn soggy, use tongs to transfer the stir fried dish to individual plates or bowls, leaving the liquid behind. Do not throw away the very flavorful liquid. Strain, cool and set aside. You can reduce it and serve as dipping sauce.
