INSTRUCTIONS
SAUCE
OPTIONAL TOPPING
On paper towels, pat tofu dry on all sides. Cut tofu crosswise into
1/2-inch thick slices. On small plate, place cornstarch.
Heat nonstick wok or large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add 2
tablespoons oil and swirl to coat pan. One at a time, dip tofu slices into
cornstarch to coat cut surfaces and place in wok. Fry until well browned on
one side--about 5 minutes . Turn tofu slices and fry other sides until well
borwned. Transfer tofu to center of large serving platter; cover with foil
and keep warm.
Add broth and gingerroot to wok and heat to boiling. Add bok choy; cover
and cook until tender and most of broth evaporates--about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare Sauce. In small bowl, combine vegetable broth,
oyster-flavored sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and sesame oil.
With slotted spoon or pancake turner, remove bok choy and place, cut sides
down, around rim of platter with tofu; cover and keep warm. Discard ginger
slices and any remaining broth.
Reheat wok over high heat until hot. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the
mushrooms. Stir-fry mushrooms until softened--about 3 minutes. Restir Sauce
and pour over mushrooms; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and
bubbly. Transfer mushrooms from Sauce and place over tofu. Pour Sauce over
all. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
