I have grown to love tofu. Its creamy interior, its slight chew, its delicate earthy flavor, I love all of it. But I think what I love most of all is how easy it is to prepare, just toss it in a pan with some veggies and you’ve got supper. Here is one of my favorite combinations.

Ingredients
- 1 pound tofu, drained, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced

Instructions
- Place tofu cubes on a large plate lined with paper towels. Place more paper towels on top of the tofu and gently press to dry.
- Combine water, Hoisin, sesame oil, soy, and pepper in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
