Ingredients


	2 blocks tofu		1/2 - 1 t. sugar

	6 water chestnuts	2 t. ginger juice

	1 bamboo shoot		1 egg, beaten

	2 stalks green onion	1 - 1/2 C. Gluten burger

	4 dried mushrooms	1 C. water from mushrooms

slice tofu into 8 slices. Wrap in a cloth or paper towel to drain excess water. Wash and soak mushrooms, squeeze and chop fine. Peel water chestnuts and mince, chop bamboo shoot, chop green onions fine.
Fry sliced tofu in oil until golden brown. Slit the tofu, leaving 1/2" uncut edge. Mix all ingredients, except ginger juice (if ingredients are too watery, cornstarch may be added), and stuff each tofu with 1 t. of stuffing; seal with cornstarch paste (cornstarch mixed with a little water). Return stuffed tofus to the frying pan. Mix 1 T. cornstarch, ginger juice, 1 C. mushroom water and mushroom stems; pour over the tofu, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. May be garnished with Chinese parsley.
(Note: Gluten can be homemade or commercial).
