Instructions

1. 1

   Gently drain and cut the silken tofu into 2cm cubes. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

2. 2

   Heat cooking oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add ginger slices and minced garlic, stir-fry until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add winter melon cubes and all assorted mushrooms (shiitake, enoki, oyster mushrooms) to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

4. 4

   Pour in vegetable broth, vegetarian oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Bring to a simmer. Gently add the silken tofu cubes and goji berries.

5. 5

   Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Add bok choy and cook until tender-crisp. Stir the cornstarch slurry one more time, then gradually add it to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

6. 6

   Drizzle with sesame oil. Ladle the braised tofu and vegetables into a serving dish. Serve hot with steamed white rice.
