-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 oz Cloud ear fungus
1/2 lb Chinese longbeans OR
-Green beans
1 lb Silk squash or zucchini
2 tb Peanut oil
2 tb Finely chopped shallots
2 tb Coarsely chopped garlic
2 ts Minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tb Oyster sauce
2 tb Rice wine or dry sherry
2 tb Light soy sauce
2 ts Salt
1 t Sugar
1/2 c Chicken stock
SOAK THE CLOUD EAR FUNGUS in warm water for at least 15 minutes. Rinse them
several times in cold running water to remove any sand. Drain thoroughly
and set aside. If you are using the Chinese longbeans, trim the ends and
cut them into 3-inch segments. If you are using green beans, trim the ends
and cut them in half. Peel off the tough outer skin of the silk squash and
cut the vegetable at a slight diagonal into 2-inch pieces. Heat a wok or
large saute pan until hot and add the oil. Put in the shallots, garlic,
ginger, cloud ears and longbeans. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the silk
squash, oyster sauce, rice wine, soy sauce, salt, sugar and chicken stock.
Cook over high heat, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 5
minutes. Serve at once.
