Vegetarian Ma Po Tofu

 We mostly followed this NYT:

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017358-vegan-mapo-tofu

I soaked 8 dried shitake in 1 C hot water, then squeezed them and slivered them.  I used about 8-10 button mushrooms cut into quarters.

I added 1 tsp sugar.

In the future we want to add 1/2 tsp salt to the broth (because it wasn't salty enough).

I also used 2 lb tofu total.

The broth didn't thicken quite enough, so I'd maybe go 1.5 Tbsp or 2 Tbsp cornstarch slurry.

Really nice flavor other than that!
