Chinese Style Broccoli With Mushrooms Recipe 465

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Soak the mushrooms in hot water until they soften (15-20 minutes).
• Rinse under cold running water to remove any sand and squeeze out excess water to drain.
• With a sharp knife, remove the stems & discard.
• Finely shred the caps; set aside.
• Blanch broccoli in boiling water and drain.
• Chop cabbage into long shreds, about 1/4-inch wide.
• Preheat wok or large skillet over high heat until it is hot.
• Add oil, wait until the oil gets very hot, almost smoking (the vegetables should sizzle during the entire cooking time); add ginger and cook for 20 seconds.
• Add the mushrooms, broccoli, cabbage, jicama, and bamboo, and continue to stir-fry for 1 minute.
• Add the sauce and continue to stir-fry until broccoli and cabbage are tender (3 minutes), adding about a tablespoon of water, if needed, to keep moist.
• Spoon onto a platter, sprinkle with sesame oil, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix sauce ingredients and reserve.
• (Note: You can blanch the vegetables with one slice of ginger before stir-frying. I did not.).
• Heat wok over high heat, add peanut oil and heat. Add whole garlic to oil and turn over when brown, removing when both sides are brown and oil has been infused with flavor.
• Add minced ginger, garlic, and salt, stirring briefly. As garlic turns light brown, add mushroom caps and broccoli, stir frying for up to two minutes.
• Create space in center of wok for sauce, stir sauce to make sure cornstarch hasn't clumped, and pour inches
• Mix ingredients as sauce thickens, remove from heat, put in serving dish and enjoy with rice.
