Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ounce dried Chinese mushrooms (donggu or doong gwoo, similar to Japanese shittake but more earthy and smoky)
2 1/2 ounces broccoli florets, cut through their stems into thin slices (1 cup)
1 lb napa cabbage or 1 lb kale
2 ounces jicama, peeled & cut into 2-inch-by-1/4-inch strips
2 ounces bamboo shoots, drained rinsed & finely shredded
1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon bacon fat
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled & grated
water (if needed)
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons rice wine or 2 teaspoons dry sherry
4 teaspoons light soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon hawaiian salt

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.
