How to Make Baby Bok Choy With Mushrooms And Tofu

1. Pat 14 oz firm or extra-firm tofu dry with paper towels. Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2. Place 2 tablespoons cornstarch on a small plate.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Dip each tofu slice in cornstarch, coating both sides, and place in the hot wok.
5. Fry tofu for 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Transfer the crispy tofu to a large serving platter, cover with foil, and keep warm.
7. Add 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to the wok. Bring to a boil.
8. Add 1 pound baby bok choy, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender and most of the broth has evaporated.
9. While bok choy cooks, prepare the sauce (see below).
10. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bok choy and arrange it cut-side down around the rim of the platter with the tofu. Cover to keep warm.
11. Discard the ginger slices and any remaining broth from the wok.
12. Reheat the wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 8 oz sliced mushrooms.
13. Stir-fry the mushrooms for 5 minutes, until softened.
14. Add the prepared sauce to the wok and stir constantly until thickened and bubbly (about 1-2 minutes).
15. Remove the mushrooms from the sauce and arrange them over the tofu on the platter.
16. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the tofu, bok choy, and mushrooms.
17. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately over rice or ramen noodles.
