Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 dried shiitake mushrooms

1 pound chinese broccoli

or broccolini

1 tablespoon oyster sauce -- (vegetarian)

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

1 teaspoon cornstarch

oil -- for stir-frying

1 teaspoon minced ginger

 

In a small bowl, cover dried mushrooms with lukewarm water and soak for 30

minutes or until tender.

 

Trim bases from broccoli. If using Western broccoli, cut off tops and separate

into florets; slice stems across into 1/4-inch pieces. If using the slender

Chinese variety, simply cut the whole bunch into 1-inch lengths.

 

Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Remove and discard the tough stems;

slice each cap into 1/4-inch-wide strips.

 

Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of the reserved mushroom

liquid in a small bowl. Add cornstarch and stir to dissolve.

 

Heat wok and add oil. Heat oil almost to the smoking point. Add ginger and cook

until fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Add broccoli and mushrooms; stir-fry until

broccoli is almost tender but still crunchy. Stir oyster sauce mixture and add

it to the pan. Cook 2 minutes, stirring to coat vegetables evenly with sauce.

 

Servings: 4 to 6 with other dishes.

 

tip - Oyster sauce is a thick, brown seasoning liquid used in southern Chinese

cooking.

which is similar but less slender and less leafy. Oyster sauce complements the

flavor of the shiitake mushrooms.
