  • 1 clove garlic (optional)
  • 1 small knob ginger (optional)
  • soy sauce or soy paste (to taste)
  • salt (to taste)
  • more soy sauce or soy paste (to give a nice medium-brown color)

sautee ingredients from step 3 in a large wok with hot oil a short while, then add sliced ingredients from step 2. stir in: soy sauce or soy paste (to taste), salt (to taste)

5

just before the tofu and "meat" look and smell done, add the drained rice and immediately turn down the heat to medium. add: more soy sauce or soy paste (to give a nice medium-brown color), 1/4 c mushroom water (from steps 1-2)

6
