Tip: Watercress is an aquatic plant that grows in slow-moving streams. It is recommended to wash it thoroughly, then soak it in cool water with hydrogen peroxide (1 tablespoon per quart) to remove any impurities and pollutants. To keep fresh, submerge in water and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Dish turned out well. Did not have to season with salt or pepper. Flavor good just the way it is. I also added bean sprouts.

Thank you to anonymous on 03/09/2021 for the suggestion! Ditched the carrots and used Maui onions. Didn’t have white wine so I used sake instead. Also, added 1/2 a bag of clean & trimmed bean sprouts with the watercress and tofu. Soo good! All 6 of us loved it!
