(reserve for stock pot); halve the caps.  Cut thin
strands of bamboo shoots into 2" lengths. Cut soaked
bean thread noodles into 3" pieces.
Wash and blanch bean sprouts, celery and pepper. Slice
celery, pepper, carrots, turnip and cabbage into 2"
long pencil-size pieces. Halve baby corn on the bias.
Slice pressed bean curd same size as vegetables.
Deep-fry in shallow oil until slightly tan but still
pliable. Drain.
Mash fermented bean curd, then blend with sugar, dark
soy, sherry and water.
Stir-frying:  Heat wok until medium-hot.  Add 4
tablespoons of deep-frying oil.  Add all dry
ingredients, except noodles; stir-fry 1 minute. Turn
wok to high.  Add fresh and canned ingredients, and
stir-fry for 2 more minutes: sprinkle in salt after
first minute. Add liquid mixture, mixing with juices
in pan. Add noodles. Reduce heat to medium, cover wok,
and steam for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are
cooked but still firm. Uncover, sprinkle in MSG and
