  2                     garlic cloves -- finely chopped
     1/2      teaspoon  toasted sesame seeds
  1           teaspoon  Oriental sesame oil
  2          teaspoons  fresh ground ginger
  1           teaspoon  soy sauce
  1           teaspoon  liquid sweetener
  1              Pinch  salt
  1              Pinch  black pepper
     1/4           cup  wheat germ or bread crumbs

Preparation:

Crush the tofu in a bowl. Mix in all the ingredients except the mushrooms. When the mixture is thoroughly blended, stuff and top the mushrooms with it. Either grill the stuffed mushrooms for 3-5 minutes on a lightly oiled stovetop grill, or an oiled, very hot, thick- bottomed frying pan, or broil them for 7-9 minutes in the oven.
