Straw Mushrooms Braised with Tofu

Why people make this dish

Straw mushrooms are one of Nourilo’s everyday favorites — vegetarian or with meat, in soup or stir-fried, they’re traditionally seen as good for the spleen and for building strength. Modern study notes they’re rich in amino acids, vitamin C and protein, and eating them regularly is associated with stronger everyday resistance. A block of fragrant organic tofu paired with good-quality straw mushrooms makes a plain but delicious plate.
