Tofu Shiitake Spicy Stir-Fry image

This is a simple and quick stir-fry. Peanut oil and shitake mushrooms provide the main flavor in this dish. These amounts are approximate. I added a generous sprinkling of finely ground cayenne at the very end for some serious heat, but those who don't like it hot-hot can skip that. Enjoy!

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 ounces firm tofu, Cut into one-inch cubes

10 -12 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems trimmed even with cap, each cut into quarters, sixths if larger mushroom
1/2 cup carrot, Julienned (I cut baby carrots lengthwise)
2 -3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 -3 teaspoons sugar, to taste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (Use your own discretion!)

Steps:

  • In large non-stick skillet, heat peanut oil over medium-high heat.

Heat for 2 minutes, sprinkle cayenne pepper over all, then gently stir everything together for 1 - 2 minutes more, using a flat nylon or bamboo spatula so as not to crush the tofu.
