Cooking Instructions
1.
Slice the Mushrooms (2 1/4 cups). Bend off the tough ends of the Asparagus (3 cups) - they will naturally break off where they are tender. Cut into 2-inch pieces. Chop Garlic (3 Tbsp). Peel and chop Fresh Ginger (1 Tbsp).
2.
Pat Extra Firm Tofu (1 lb) dry with paper towels, pressing down to release water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
3.
Place Corn Starch (1/2 cup), Salt (1 tsp) and Granulated Sugar (1 tsp) in a medium bowl and mix well. Toss tofu in the cornstarch mixture. Heat around 2-3 Tbsp of Peanut Oil (as needed) in a wok over high heat. Once hot, turn the heat to medium-high.
4.
Shake excess cornstarch off tofu and carefully place tofu in the wok, working in 2 batches (don’t over crowd). Turn tofu carefully every minute or so, until at least two sides are golden brown and crispy.
5.
Set tofu aside on paper towel lined plate. When all the tofu is done, wipe out the wok.
6.
Gather all the prepped ingredients and the rest of the ingredients and place near the stove, so there is no need to walk away.
7.
Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons Peanut Oil (as needed) in a wok over high heat. Just as it begins to smoke, turn the heat to medium-high and add mushrooms. Stir constantly for 2 minutes, don't stop.
8.
Add ginger and continue stirring 1 to 2 minutes.
9.
Add asparagus and garlic, stir for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, until asparagus is just tender, but still crisp and vivid green.
10.
Add Soy Sauce (2 tsp), Granulated Sugar (1 tsp), Rice Vinegar (1 tsp), Mirin (1 tsp) and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (to taste) if using. Give a few last stirs, and taste for salt.
11.
Serve and enjoy!
