Set a steamer to boil.

before preparation).

Use fingers to break up the tofu into a
medium-sized heat-proof bowl.
-
Stir seasoning into the mashed tofu. Add
also the diced mushroom and wood ears as well as the minced ingredients.
Stir until evenly blended.

Set the bowl of tofu mixture on a rack,
cover steamer tightly with lid, and steam for 20 minutes.
-
Remove from steamer, set the hot bowl onto
a plate, and serve, garnished with chopped coriander.
