Note

For extra crispy tofu, you can dust the cubes with cornstarch before frying.

Substitute snow peas with snap peas or green beans if unavailable.

Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a skillet to maintain texture; avoid microwaving for best results.

For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.

Add a splash of rice vinegar for a tangy twist.

Garlic and ginger can be added to the mushrooms for extra flavor.
