Stir-Fried Tofu and Mushrooms with Lemon Grass
In this Southeast Asian-inspired stir-fry, we toss mild tofu with two powerhouse ingredients, fish sauce and Sriracha, then brown the cubes in hot oil. When the tofu is out of the pan, we stir-fry meaty mushrooms and add citrusy lemon grass and savory scallions, building layers of contrasting flavors, and finish by tossing everything together. Be sure to pat the tofu dry after cubing it. Wicking away excess moisture means the tofu will better absorb seasonings for bigger, bolder flavor and brown better. Serve the stir-fry with steamed jasmine rice.

Way better than titled
This had way more flavor than I’d expected. Cilantro, peanuts and limes were nice additions. Comes together so easily. Far tastier than a vegan recipe should be for this non-vegan chef cleaning out the fridge tonight…

Way to salty
The first time we made it, it seemed too salty. We thought it might have been because the tofu was left in the sauce and marinated instead of just having been tossed. The second time it was just as salty and seemed bitter. This isn't one we'll make again.
