                       -----MUSHROOMS-----
  1       c            Dried shiitake mushrooms,
                       -- soaked in warm water for
                       -- 30 minutes
    1/2   c            Vegetable oil

  4       ea           Fresh chilies, seeded &
                       -- chopped

 If using regular tofu, it will need to be pressed &
 diced.  If using deep-fried, dice it.  Then, marinate
 the tofu for 5 minutes.  Remove & reserve the marinade.
 Trim the mushrooms & quarter the caps.  Heat the
 vegetable oil in a wok over high heat.  Fry the tofu
 until it begins to change colour. Turn over & fry the
 other side, be careful not to break it.  (If using
 deep-fried tofu, it won't need as long for cooking).
 Remove tofu & saute garlic. Stir-fry until it begins
 to brown.  Add the mushrooms & stir-fry for 1 to 2
 minutes.  Add the marinade & stir-fry for a couple of
 minutes.  Return the tofu to the wok with all the
 seasonings plus 1/4 c water.  Cook for another 5
 minutes.  Add the green onions, cook 15 seconds &
 serve hot.
