  Marinate the vegetarian duck

  Use a spoon to pour the marinade mixture over both sides of the tofu pieces. Sauté the mushrooms in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes to allow them to release moisture.

  Place the mushrooms on the marinated tofu and continue to add the sauce on top of the mushrooms, then turn everything evenly and marinate the tofu and mushrooms for 30 minutes.

  Pick up the marinated tofu, placing the outer side (the frying side) of the tofu down, then layer mushrooms on top. Use your hands to wrap the piece of vegetarian duck, ensuring that the tofu skin is tightly secured.
