Thai Shrimp and Tofu with Asparagus submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
This was my first attempt at cooking with tofu. And I will definitely try other recipes...it was delicous. Serve this spicy dish over rice, linguine or cellophane noodles. From the June 2005 edition of Cooking Lihgt.

Directions
Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl. Heat 1 tsp. oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; add tofu and cook for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside. Heat 1 tsp. oil in pan; add shrimp. Cook 2 minutes on each side just till opaque; set aside. Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in pan; add mushrooms, onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes or until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently. Add asparagus; cook 4 minutes or until crisp-tenter. Add sauce, tofu and shrimp back to pan; cook 1 minute or until heated. Yield 3 servings of 2 cups each.
