Recipe Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this tofu stir-fry:

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 don’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.

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Cut the lettuce, scallions, and kikurage mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Drain the tofu and cut it into cubes.
Stir-Fry: Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tofu, scallions, and mushrooms. Let them cook without stirring for a minute to lightly brown the tofu. Then gently stir-fry everything.
Add Lettuce and Seasoning: Add the lettuce, shio kombu, and soy sauce. Stir everything together until well combined.
Serve: Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!

Notes

Substitution: Feel free to swap the greens and mushrooms with whatever you have—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 don’t have shio kombu, use a pinch of salt instead.
Ensure that you drain the tofu thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the pan.
