3 tbsp

soy sauce or tamari

2 tbsp

cornstarch

2 tsp

granulated sugar

350g

firm tofu

Combine water, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and sriracha in a small bowl or measuring cup and stir until the sugar dissolves. Using your hands, crumble the tofu into small pieces into a bowl.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add the canola and sesame oils. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they start to turn golden. Add the crumbled tofu and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the tofu gets browned in places.
Add the celery, onions and garlic and cook another 1 to 2 minutes, then stir the sauce and add it all at once. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately in lettuce wraps or over steamed rice.
