INSTRUCTIONS
Parboil lima beans in a pot of boiling water for 3 minutes; drain. Cut tofu into 1/2" cubes. Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl; set aside. Place a wok over high heat until hot. Add oil, swirling to coat sides. Add chiles and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add lima beans, tofu, all mushrooms, water chestnuts and carrots; stir frey until carrots are crisp-tender, about 1-1/2 minutes. Add sauce and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens. Add walnuts and toss to coat. Makes 4-6 servings NOTES : I did not use the lima beans. I just used the tofu. I also did not have any straw mushrooms so I added extra button mushrooms and I used only 3 chiles because my husband doesn't like things blazing hot. I put soy sauce and chile paste on the table so you could add at the table if you wished. I did. I felt like it needed something but if you like your chinese food only slightly hot, then forgo the extra chile paste. In our house, that is the usual ingredient that gets added at the table.
