Stir - Fried Lotus Root, Chinese Mushrooms And Bamboo Shoots
(Chao - Ou - Pien)
What You Need:
  • 4 dried Chinese mushrooms, 1 to 1½ inches in diameter
  • 2 cups canned lotus root
  • ½ cup thinly sliced canned bamboo shoots
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil, or flavorless vegetable oil
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar

  • How To Cook:
    PREPARE AHEAD:
    1. In a small bowl, cover the mushrooms with ½ cup of warm water and let them soak for 30 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and save the water.

    2. With a cleaver or sharp knife, cut off and discard the tough stems of the mushrooms and quarter each cap.

    3. Drain the canned lotus root and rinse it under cold water. Cut it into 1/8 inch slices.

    4. Have the above ingredients, bamboo shoots, oil, salt and sugar within easy reach.

    TO COOK:
    1. Set a 12-inch wok or 10-inch skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Pour in the 2 tablespoons of oil, swirl it about in the pan and heat for another 30 seconds, turning the heat down to moderate if the oil begins to smoke.

    2. Add the lotus root and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until all the pieces are thoroughly coated with the oil. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, salt, sugar and ¼ cup of mushroom-soaking water.

    3. Stir thoroughly and cover the pan. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, then transfer the entire contents of the pan to a heated platter and serve at once.

    VARIATION:
    1. A 1-pound head of green cabbage may be substituted for the canned lotus root. Wash the cabbage, core it and separate the leaves. Then, with a cleaver or sharp knife, cut the leaves into strips about 1 inch long and ½ inch wide.

    To Serve: 4
