Ingredients

Proteins

  • 200 g fried tofu puffs
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce

Aromatics

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 inch ginger

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 100 ml mushroom soaking liquid or vegetable broth

Vegetables

  • 10 g dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 300 g napa cabbage
  • 100 g carrots
  • 100 g snow peas
  • 100 g baby corn

Other

  • 5 g dried black fungus
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak dried shiitake mushrooms and black fungus in warm water until softened (about 30 minutes). Drain, squeeze out excess water from mushrooms, and slice them. Cut black fungus into bite-sized pieces. Reserve some of the mushroom soaking liquid.

  2. 2

    Prepare other vegetables: roughly chop napa cabbage, slice or julienne carrots, trim snow peas, and halve baby corn.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine vegetarian oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, and the reserved mushroom soaking liquid (or vegetable broth). In another small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sliced ginger (if using) and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Add carrots and baby corn to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften slightly.

  6. 6

    Add the soaked shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, and fried tofu puffs. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Add napa cabbage and snow peas. Stir-fry until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 3-4 minutes.

  8. 8

    Pour in the prepared sauce mixture and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.

  9. 9

    Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir and then add it to the wok, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Cook for another minute.

  10. 10

    Serve hot immediately with steamed rice.
