Tofu stir fry ingredients.
  • Tofu: Use firm tofu and make sure to drain it well to prevent excess moisture in the pan.
  • Lettuce, Scallions, and Kikurage Mushrooms: Feel free to use any leafy greens like spinach or bok choy. Kikurage (wood ear mushrooms) add a firm, slightly crunchy texture, but other mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster, are great substitutes. See more ideas in the Variations section below.
  • Shio Kombu: These salty, umami-rich kelp strips add depth of flavor. If you donโ€™t have any, a pinch of salt makes a simple substitute.
  • Sesame Oil: Adds a rich, nutty aroma to the dish. You can substitute with other cooking oils if you prefer.

Notes

  • Substitution: Feel free to swap the greens and mushrooms with whatever you haveโ€”spinach, bok choy, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms all work well (See Vegetable Variations). Sesame oil adds great flavor, but any cooking oil will do. If you donโ€™t have shio kombu, use a pinch of salt instead.
  • Ensure that you drain the tofu thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the pan.
