Instructions

1. 1

   Gently press firm tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 2cm cubes.

2. 2

   Trim green beans and cut into 2cm lengths. Soak dried shiitake mushrooms until soft, remove stems, and slice. Mince garlic and ginger.

3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and pan-fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu from the wok and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same wok, add minced garlic and minced ginger. Sauté until fragrant.

   Add green beans and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until green beans are tender-crisp.

   Return the pan-fried tofu to the wok. Add preserved olive vegetable, vegetarian oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and water (or mushroom soaking liquid). Stir well to combine.

   Bring the sauce to a simmer. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

8. 8

   Transfer the stir-fried tofu and vegetables to a serving plate. Serve hot with steamed white rice.
