Use the cooking water to blanch the dried shreds, then pick them up and fry them with the vegetables. I wonder if the blanch time is not long enough? I tasted it after cooking it. The texture of the dried shreds is relatively hard and a bit chewy. In addition, the seasoning may need to be a little more. The dried shreds themselves are difficult to taste, and the portion in one package is quite large.

Tofu strips that are never cooked through are not tasty.
