02Steps
  1. Prepare vegetables: If using dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrate them according to package instructions (reserve the soaking liquid). Cut bok choy into segments. Halve the tofu puffs. Tear oyster mushrooms into pieces.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Heat cooking oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add mushrooms and tofu: Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and torn oyster mushrooms to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Then add the halved tofu puffs and stir to combine.
  4. Braises with sauce: Pour in the light soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and mushroom soaking liquid/vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer. Cover and braise for 8-10 minutes, allowing the tofu puffs to absorb the flavors.
  5. Add greens and thicken: Add the bok choy to the pot and stir gently until it just wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. Serve hot with steamed rice.
