Ingredients:
* 1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu
* 3 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
* 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
* 3 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
* 1 1/2 cups snow peas, trimmed
* 1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce or mushroom-based oyster-flavored sauce
* 1 cup water
Directions:
1. Slice tofu lengthwise into 3 pieces. Wrap each slab in paper towels, and press to squeeze out excess water.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large skillet (use less if desired, but make sure you use enough that the tofu doesn't stick). Fry tofu for about 5 minutes on each side, or until delicately browned.
3. Remove tofu from skillet and slice into cubes.
4. Add the remaining teaspoon sesame oil to the skillet, and stir fry the water chestnuts, mushrooms and snow peas.
5. Mix together water and oyster sauce (or mushroom-based oyster-flavored sauce), and add to the skillet along with the tofu. 6. Cover and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes.
