Notes
Tips: Use soft or silken tofu and treat it gently — stir with a spatula rather than a spoon, and let the sauce bubble around the cubes instead of stirring them. Pat the shrimp dry before frying so they sear instead of steaming, and keep the mushroom liquid in the pan; it is the flavor base.
Food Safety: Cook shrimp until they turn opaque and reach 145°F (63°C) internally. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently to 165°F (74°C) before serving.
