Mushrooms and Tofu in Coconut Curry
This recipe is pretty flexible because you can use whichever combination of mushrooms you prefer, as long as they add up to ~2 cups. Today I used shitake and enoki because I have them in the house, but button, portabella, and oyster mushrooms also taste really good. I didn't have fresh shitake mushrooms, so I soaked dried ones in hot water to rehydrate them and it worked well. You can also use a leafy green like spinach instead of bok choy if that's easier.
