1 scallion, minced coarsely
2 slices fresh ginger, minced
3 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Preparation:
1. Mix gluten and the oil, and fry until gluten is browned, then drain.
2. Reheat the oil and stir-fry the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, cloud ear fungus, knotted lily buds, soy beans, scallion, and ginger for two minutes, then add soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil and stir-fry for five to eight minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature.
No nutrient analysis because the program we use has none for dried lily buds.
