Easy to make and super tasty this dish can be served with a spread of other Asian small dishes for a buffet like meal, or accompanied with noodles or steamed rice for a filling main course that is also perfect for weekend or mid-week meal prep.
Tofu puffs are so easy to use as they are already pre-cooked, which make them perfect for this last minute stir fry. For a guide to homemade tofu puffs take a look at this post.
We just need to add a bunch of veggies to cover all the nutrients that we need.
For this dish I have chosen carrots, green beans and mushrooms, perfect to boost our A, C and D vitamin intake as well as providing a great array of textures and mouth feels from "crunchy" to "meaty".
The super easy Asian inspired sauce is made with vegan oyster sauce, which is actually made with mushrooms, some fragrant teriyaki sauce for sweetness and depth of flavour, and some corn starch as a thicken agent.
You can easily find vegan mushroom sauce (or oyster sauce) in any Asian shop or online.
If you can't find you can use vegan Worchester sauce or regular soy sauce instead.
These easy Tofu Puff Triangles with Asian Vegan Mushroom Sauce will be perfect for an Asian theme night spread to be served with these Homemade Chinese Dumpling (Jiaozi), Longevity Noodles, or with this Sweet and Sour Pineapple Tofu, this flavourful Kung Pao Cauliflower. and these Garlic and Chilli Aubergines as a side.
Alternatively, you can use tofu puff to make these Marinated Skewers with Peppers and Mushrooms or Stir Fry with Black Mushrooms and Chinese Cabbage.

Really delicious thanks! Admittedly replaced beans for broccoli and used half the amount of water in the sauce , plus some vegan fish sauce and dark soy sauce.
Thanks for the idea

There is no corn starch in the list of ingredients, but you mention corn starch in the instructions.

Oh dear! The ratio for the cornstarch slurry is 2:1, so 2 tbsp of water + 1 tbsp starch.
I just uploaded the recipe, thank you so much for pointing it out <3
Happy Holidays!
