BRAISED TAUPAU WITH TOMATOES AND MUSHROOMS

I planned to prepare this vegetarian dish when I was on vegetarian diet in September.  There were so many recipes to try but just couldn't find the time.  Anyway, it is nothing wrong to add some meatless dishes in our daily meals often.

This recipe is quite similar to the earlier dish [here] I prepared but with addition of mushrooms and the fresh beancurd pieces [taupau] are seasoned with some oyster sauce and black pepper before frying.

Another tasty, appetising and delicious vegetarian dish to try if you like meatless dishes.  Savoury, sweet and sourish dish.
Great with steaming hot rice.
Ingredients

6 pieces fresh beancurd sheet [tau pau] - pan fried

1 tomato - diced
2 Ernygii mushrooms - diced

some chopped ginger
enough water to cover ingredients

Seasoning [combined]

1-2 tbsp tomato sauce

1/2 tsp sugar

1 tbsp black vinegar
salt to taste

1. Open up the fresh beancurd pieces.  Spread some oyster sauce over it.  Sprinkle some black pepper.  Fold and lightly coat with cornflour.
2. Pan fry them in a non stick wok with oil over medium low heat until slightly brown.  Remove.
3. Using the same wok without oil, fry mushrooms until aromatic before adding tomatoes, seasoning and water. Bring to boil, add in the fried tau pau.  Taste to adjust seasoning.
4. Braise until sauce is thick. Before dishing, add in chopped ginger.  
5. Mix well. Dish up to serve.
