Add the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the sliced mushrooms and tofu and stir to combine. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tofu is heated through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add the mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the Cajun Mushroom and Tofu Etouffee over cooked rice. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for entertaining guests. The combination of Cajun spices, mushrooms, and tofu creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone.
