This is a homestyle braised beancurd skin with mushrooms recipe in a flavorful sauce perfect paired with a bowl of steamed rice. The beancurd rolls or skin are cooked down with a mix of shiitake, shimeji, and wood ear mushrooms with carrots, garlic, and ginger.

Soak the wood ear mushrooms or black fungus in hot water for 10-15 minutes or in room temperate water overnight until rehydrated.

Slice the carrot and mushrooms.

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium high heat.

Add the oil. Once hot, add the garlic cloves and stir-fry over medium high heat until lightly golden.

Add the carrots. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the shiitake, shimeji, and rehydrated wood ear mushrooms.

If needed, you can loosen the sauce with 2-3 tbsp of water (see notes).

So delicious! I've never used beancurd skin before, but I found some frozen beancurd skin and it was super easy to cook. Love the flavors, this recipe is a keeper! Didn't have rice wine but substituted with a little bit of mirin. Thank you!

Jeeca literally never misses and this was no exception. I doubled the sauce and added tofu as well. This was unbelievable, so flavourful, so hearty. As with all Jeeca's recipes, this became an instant go-to for a delicious week night meal.

This beancurd skin recipe is typical among the Chinese living in southern China and the Asian region.

Today’s lunch is seriously Asian- beancurd skin stir-fry with mushrooms and black fungus.
If you are unfamiliar with beancurd skin, it is a film of the skin that forms on the top of the soy milk, then removed and dried to become a thin yellowish sheet.
Beancurd skin has a meaty texture and is often used to substitute meat. I combine it with mushroom and black fungus, which are all classical ingredients for Chinese cuisine.
