Stir-fried Tofu with Snow Mushroom [Y3K Recipes Issue No. 57]

This is a quick and tasty tofu dish that my boys like, I guess it is because of the slightly sweet taste in this type of soy sauce based dishes. They are not meat lovers so tofu is another good source of protein other than egg. This recipe can be found in Y3K Recipes Issue No. 57 along with three other recipes from My Kitchen.

 Other My Kitchen recipes featured in this issue are Okonomiyaki, Dorayaki and Unagi Maki.
