Cantonese Braised Tofu with Mushrooms (dòu fǔ mógū zhēng) is a vegetarian-friendly dish that emphasizes texture and flavor. Firm tofu is braised with shiitake mushrooms, ginger, garlic, and light soy sauce until rich and savory. Nutritionally, it provides protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, while being low in fat. This dish showcases Cantonese principles of simple, healthy, and flavorful cooking. The tofu absorbs the mushroom aroma and sauce, creating a satisfying bite with a silky interior and slightly firm exterior. Braised Tofu with Mushrooms is popular in vegetarian restaurants and home kitchens, appreciated for its umami taste, delicate texture, and elegance. Preparation requires gentle braising to avoid breaking the tofu while fully infusing flavor.
