We’ve been making some version of this vegetable five spice tofu stir-fry dish for dinner once a week for as long as we can remember. It’s healthy, vegetarian, and very easy to make.
Recipe Instructions
Wash and julienne the five spice tofu and vegetables.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in the wok over high heat. Stir-fry the tofu for about 3 minutes until slightly crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add 2 more teaspoons oil and cook the celery and king oyster mushrooms for 2 minutes. Add the rest of the vegetables and a pinch of sugar. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the tofu back to the pan along with the Shaoxing wine, salt, five spice powder, white pepper, and soy sauce.
Cook another 3 to 5 minutes and plate. Serve this vegetable five spice stir-fry with white rice.

I’m currently staying with my mother who is a vegetarian, and we found your site a couple weeks back. This was the first thing I made from it after we got back from stocking up on staples. I changed around a few veggies for availability and taste preference, but both my mom and myself thought this was literally the best stir fry I’ve ever made. I started making stir fry when I was 16 and I’m 32 now. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Wow…that’s wonderful. Please try more of our vegetarian/Vegan recipes. We have so many :-)
香干肉 has been a house favorite here since the beginning of time. As you might guess we add julienned pork to this dish. As someone that makes this dish often this recipe is spot on!
Thank you, Tom, for your approval!
Never seen five spice tofu (albeit I’ve never looked). Being in Vancouver I’m sure I can track some down :D Can’t wait to make this!
Yes, we’re sure they have five spice tofu in Vancouver! : ) Let us know how it turns out. Thanks for commenting, Nathan!
