1 pound vegetables--fresh mushrooms, quartered;

trimmed; jicama or water chestnuts, sliced

6 dried Chinese black or shiitake mushrooms -- (to 10)

1 bok choy -- stems sliced & leaves whole

3 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons seeded and diced jalapenos

1 stem lemongrass, minced or 1/2 teaspoon finely

grated lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

Parboil the harder vegetables (carrots, asparagus, string beans) one at a time

in salted water until tender, then cool. Soak the dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup

warm water until soft. Reserve the water, discard the stems, and slice the caps

in half or into strips.

lemongrass, and zest. Heat a wok, add the coconut milk and paste, and simmer

for 1 minute. Add the vegetables and the reserved mushroom water. Season

lightly with salt, then add the pepper flakes and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in

the soy sauce, lime juice, and basil leaves, and simmer for 1 minute more.
