Method
Add the ramen broth, mushroom stock cube, shaoxing rice wine, and soy sauce to a saucepan and slowly simmer for 15 minutes while you prep and cook the other ingredients.
Cut your tofu into triangles and coat in the cornflour, then fry for 3 minutes on each side in some vegetable oil to get it nice and crispy. Set aside.

In the same pan, saute your garlic and ginger paste, then add chopped oyster and shimeji mushrooms and sear on high heat to get them golden brown - this step really brings out the flavour of the mushrooms so is a real must!
