| Cauliflower, cut into small florets | 2 cups | |
| Carrot, peeled and sliced | 1 | |
| Cabbage, chopped up into large squares | 3 cups | |
| Fresh Black fungus | 250 gms | |

| Chinese black rice vinegar | 1 Tbsp | |
| Light soy sauce | 1 Tbsp | |
| Sugar (optional) | A pinch | |
| Asian sesame oil | A dash |
Method:
- Rinse all vegetables and keep drained.
- Cut and remove the hard bits or fibrous parts from the base of the fresh black fungus. If using dried black fungus-see notes.
- Cut and prep all other vegetables and ingredients as specified, before you start to cook.
- Heat oil in a Chinese-style wok for best results. Alternatively, use a large non-stick pan.
- As the oil heats up, add in the garlic, ginger, and chilies. Stir till fragrant, without ‘browning’.
Add the carrot first, as the black fungus. Stir fry on high heat, till the carrot isis softened. - Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets next, and continue to stir-fry on high heat till both are slightly cooked. (don’t cook anything too long).
- Add the cabbage and continue to toss, till the leaves have separated.
- Next, add the black vinegar and soy sauce and mix. Add more if needed (to taste).
- Also, add the sugar and sesame oil. Stir well and remove to a serving dish, to prevent overcooking from the residual heat of the wok.
Chinese Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry with Black Fungus(Wood Ear Mushroom)
Notes:
- IF USING DRIED BLACK FUNGUS it needs to be reconstituted in warm water for at least 1 hour. While soaking, the mushrooms expand 3–4 times in size. Keep this in mind when you’re cooking, as small amounts can go a long way.
- New research shows that wood ear fungus offers many benefits, such as protecting the liver, lowering cholesterol, and promoting gut health. It is also high in fiber and antioxidants. Wood ear mushroom has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is widely loved because of its crunchy but soft texture. Great to add texture to stir-fried dishes.
