Place a wok over heat and add peanut oil. When the oil is about 60–70% hot, add the garlic shoots and stir-fry briefly. Add the dried tofu shreds and a little fresh broth, and stir-fry until the liquid is nearly evaporated. Add soy sauce and a pinch of fine salt, stir a few times, season with MSG, drizzle with sesame oil, and serve.
