Ingredients:
1 pound celtuce (also known as stem lettuce)
1/4 cup dry cloud ear fungi, soaked in warm water for half an hour or until very soft
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3 slices peeled fresh ginger, minced
2 scallions, minced, green and white parts separated

1 Tablespoon thin soy sauce
1 Tablespoon dark soy sauce

2. Cut cloud ear fungi into thin strips the thickness of the celtuce stems.
3. Heat wok or fry pan, add oil, and then stir-fry garlic and ginger for one minute before adding the rice wine, chili bean sauce, and all three soy sauces, the match stick pieces of the celtuce and the cloud ear fungi. Stir them for one more minute.
