Instructions

1. 1

   Press firm tofu to remove excess water. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Pan-fry tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Add ginger slices and minced garlic to the same wok. Sauté until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add broccoli florets and rehydrated black fungus to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Return the pan-fried tofu to the wok.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, combine light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar, white pepper, and water or vegetable broth to make the braising sauce. Pour the sauce over the ingredients in the wok.

6. 6

   Bring the sauce to a simmer, then cover and braise for 5-7 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp and flavors have melded.

7. 7

   Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.

8. 8

   Drizzle with sesame oil.

9. 9

   Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
