Button mushrooms are more affordable and widely available.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a cost-effective alternative with a neutral flavor.

Boil tofu puffs to remove excess oil, then cut in half.

Toast tofu puffs in a little oil to crisp them up slightly.

Add rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms to the pan.

Pour in soy sauce and a little water to provide liquid for the mushrooms to soak up.

Cook for 4-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
