Directions
Add 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.
Add tofu cubes, and cook until almost all sides turn into golden and brown, about 8 minutes in total. Turn tofu over half way through.
Transfer cooked tofu cubes onto a plate, and set aside.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium-hight heat.
Add ginger, garlic and scallions, stirring constantly, and cook for about 1 minute until very fragrant.
Stir in carrot and sweet bell pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes.
Stir in shiitake mushrooms and wood ears if using, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add sugar snap peas, stirring constantly, and cook for another 1 minute.
Return tofu cubes into skillet.
Add all the sauce ingredients, mix until well coated, and cook for another 2 minutes until heat through.
Remove from heat and serve hot with rice.
Note: If you don't have any oyster sauce, just use more hoisin sauce or soy sauce instead.
