Ingredients

  • Tofu (firm) - 100 grams
  • Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
  • Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
  • Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Oyster sauce (vegetarian) - 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Rice vinegar - 1 teaspoon
  • Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
  • Fresh cilantro - 10 grams, chopped
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

  1. Start by slicing the king oyster mushrooms into scallop-like rounds and the firm tofu into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced king oyster mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Next, add the sliced red bell pepper and zucchini. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
  6. Return the fried tofu to the skillet and add soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
