Stir fry of one kind or another is on regular rotation at my place. They are so quick and simple to whip up and packed with veggies, so they are perfect for mid week meals. This tofu mushroom stir fry is my current favourite, so I thought I would share it with you all too!

That’s all there is to this tofu mushroom stir fry! I like to use a combo of mushrooms, with enoki and oyster two of my favourites. They add such excellent flavour and texture to the dish, but really any mushrooms you have on hand will work.
If chilli isn’t your thing then feel free to reduce the amount, or at least remove the seeds to lower the heat level. They do add some pretty excellent flavour though!
Most of the time I serve this tofu mushroom stir fry with noodles, but brown rice is a delicious, slightly healthier option, too. My go-to noodles are egg noodles from my local Asian grocer, but again, any type will work!
Who else wants tofu mushroom stir fry for dinner tonight?
