Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

1
Clean the mushrooms. Remove the stems. Cut the mushrooms into ¼ inch-thick (0.6 cm) slices.
2
Drain the tofu block and cut the tofu into ¼ inch-thick (0.6 cm) slices.
3
Chop the green onion into small thin slices.
4
Heat the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet. When the oil is warm, but not hot, add the green onion pieces.
5
When the green onion releases fragrance (i.e., when you can smell it), about 30 seconds, add the mushroom slices. Immediately toss and stir for about 1 minute. Then add the ½ teaspoon of salt and continue to stir to make sure the salt is evenly distributed.
6
When the mushrooms look a bit browned, add the tofu slices. Make sure to drain the tofu one more time before adding them to the pot as tofu tends to release quite a bit of water.
7
Gently stir and toss the tofu with the mushrooms. When all the tofu pieces are slightly browned, add the 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and continue to stir to mix well.
8
After about another 2 minutes of gentle stirring and tossing, turn off the heat.
9
Transfer all the items in the pot to a plate and enjoy.
