  1. In batches, finely chop shiitake mushrooms in a food processor and transfer to a medium bowl.

  2. In batches, pulse tofu in a food processor until it reaches pea-size and transfer to a small bowl.

  3. Finely chop onion in the food processor and transfer to another small bowl.

  4. In a large pot, heat ¼ cup of oil over medium heat. Cook mushrooms until they are browned and reduced by about one third, stirring occasionally. Transfer mushrooms back to their bowl and wipe out the pot.

  5. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is tender and browned around the edges, stirring occasionally.

  6. Add gochujang, five-spice, cumin, and tofu to the pot and cook, stirring, until the tofu and onion are coated, for about 2 minutes.
