¾ cup Deluxe Natural Nuts

1 spring onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
Heat a glug of oil in a sauté pan over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the mushrooms along with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often until the mushrooms are glossy and reduced in volume by roughly half.
Sprinkle over the nuts and sauté for another 2 minutes before adding the grated tofu. Raise the heat to high and sauté for 2 minutes until piping hot, tossing often.
Whisk together the sauce. Pour into the pan and toss to evenly coat. Cook for 1 minute before removing and stirring through the spring onion. Taste and season and desired.
