Step 1
Soak the 1 cup dried black fungus in warm water until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain, trim any hard stems, and tear into bite-size pieces.
Step 2
Press the 14 oz firm tofu for 10 minutes, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add tofu in a single layer and cook until golden on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the soaked fungus and 1 sliced bell pepper until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add 3 minced garlic cloves and the white parts of 3 sliced green onions; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Return tofu to the skillet. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp water; toss everything to coat. Cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Garnish with the remaining green onion greens and serve hot over rice if desired.
