Method
Place the dried wood ear mushrooms in a bowl of warm water and leave to soak for 20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients, then drain and slice thinly.
Cut the pressed tofu into 2cm cubes.
Peel and cut the ginger into fine matchsticks, then finely chop the garlic, slice the chilli and cut the spring onions into 4cm lengths.
In a small bowl, stir together the vegetarian oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar and white pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering, then add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the tofu and stir-fry gently for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly golden at the edges.
Add the wood ear mushrooms, chilli and the sauce mixture, and toss for 3 minutes until everything is well coated and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Stir in the spring onions, toss for 2 minutes, then transfer to a serving plate.
