If using regular tofu, it will need to be pressed and diced. If using deep-fried, dice it. Then, marinate the tofu for 5 minutes. Remove and reserve the marinade. Trim the mushrooms and quarter the caps. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Fry the tofu until it begins to change color. Turn over and fry the other side, be careful not to break it. (If using deep-fried tofu, it won't need as long for cooking). Remove tofu and saute garlic. Stir-fry until it begins to brown. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the marinade and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. Return the tofu to the wok with all the seasonings plus 1/4 c. water. Cook for another 5 minutes. Add the green onions, cook 15 seconds and serve hot.
