Mushroom Tofu with Soba

I love mushrooms, any kind. I subscribe to the Provisions Mushroom Farm CSA program, and I truly look forward to my weekly allotment of delicious, fresh mushrooms. While mushrooms can often have a soft, even mushy, feel, fresh mushrooms actually have a particular crispiness.

When I cook mushrooms, I don't want to over-power their flavors with strong sauces. I enjoy their original delicate, earthy taste. The following recipe is great with a glass of dry white wine and an heirloom tomato salad. Give it a try.

1 tbsp canola oil½ lb medium tofu, cut into ¼ inch slices

1 ½ tbsp canola oil, can be substituted with butter for a more creamy taste

½ tbsp sesame seed oil

3 spring onions, thinly sliced
