Step 1
Freeze the tofu overnight then thaw and squeeze out as much water as possible.

Step 2
Cut the tofu into chunks and heat a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil or sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the tofu until slightly crispy on all sides.

Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4
Add the mixed mushrooms to the pan and sauté until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 5
In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using) and vegetable broth. Pour the sauce over the tofu and mushrooms in the pan.

Step 6
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally until the tofu has soaked up all the flavours and the sauce has thickened.

Step 7
Season with salt pepper and grated ginger (if using). Serve the One-Pan Braised Tofu with Mushrooms hot over rice or noodles.
