Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, garlic, ginger and five-spice powder.
Put the tofu in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over, toss well and leave to marinate for about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the marinade.
Meanwhile, soak the dried Chinese mushrooms in warm water for 20–30 minutes until soft. Drain, reserving 75ml/3fl oz of the soaking liquid. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the mushrooms, remove the stalks and slice the caps. In a bowl, blend the cornflour with the reserved marinade and mushroom soaking liquid.
Heat the oil in a wok or large heavy frying pan until hot. Add the tofu and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until evenly golden. Remove from the wok using a slotted spoon, and set aside.
Add the mushrooms and white parts of the spring onions to the wok, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Pour in the marinade mixture and stir for 1 minute until thickened.
Return the tofu to the wok with the green parts of the spring onions. Simmer gently for 1–2 minutes. Serve immediately with rice noodles
