Simple Bean Curd & Mushroom Stir-Fry
“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

CUT THE BEAN CURD into 2-by-1/2-inch squares. Heat 3 tablespoons of
oil in a large frying pan or wok. When the oil is hot, fry the bean
curd on each side until it is golden brown. You may have to do this
in several batches. Drain each cooked batch on paper towels. Drain
the oil and wipe the wok clean. Reheat the wok over moderate heat and
add 1 tablespoon of oil. Then add the garlic and salt and stir-fry
for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and the rest of the sauce
ingredients. Cook over moderate heat for 5 minutes or until the
mushrooms are cooked. Return the bean curd to the wok and once it is
heated through, it is ready to be served.
