Recipe Hot Dishes

This Spicy Tofu and Mushroom Stew is a flavorful and comforting dish that combines tender tofu, earthy mushrooms, and a bold garlic-chili kick. The tofu is first blanched in salted water with cooking wine to enhance its texture, making it elastic and less prone to breaking. Stir-fried garlic and chili peppers create a fragrant base, while slow stewing allows the tofu to soak up the rich, spicy broth. Mushrooms add a meaty depth, simmered until perfectly tender. Finished with fresh scallions in a sizzling stone pot, this dish delivers a satisfying balance of heat and umami. Perfect for warming up on chilly days, it’s a simple yet delicious vegan-friendly meal that’s packed with protein and bold flavors. Try it for a hearty, restaurant-quality experience at home!

Step 1

Cut the tofu into thick slices, remove the roots of the mushrooms, wash and tear them apart, slice the garlic, and chop the small chili peppers into grains. Cut the scallions into segments.

Step 2

Add cold water, salt, and cooking wine to a pot, and cook the tofu until it is cooked through. Remove and rinse with cold water to make the tofu more elastic and less likely to break.

Step 3

Heat a wok with an appropriate amount of oil, stir-fry the garlic and chili peppers until fragrant, then add hot water and the tofu. Stew for about 10 minutes, with the water level covering the tofu.
