INSTRUCTIONS
Soak dried mushrooms. Shred Chinese cabbage, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and soaked mushrooms. Heat oil in a small pan. Break one egg gently onto a flat plate, then slide into hot oil. Deep-fry until its edges begin to brown (2 to 3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper toweling. (Fry only one egg at a time.) Cut lettuce into strips. Arrange on a serving platter with eggs on top. Heat remaining oil. Add salt, then shredded vegetables, and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add stock and heat quickly; then simmer, covered, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste. Then add, along with sugar and pepper, and cook, stirring, to thicken. Pour over deep-fried eggs and serve at once. VARIATIONS: For the Chinese cabbage, substitute asparagus, broccoli, celery or snow peas. After Step 5, sprinkle the vegetables with a mixture of 1 tablespoon sherry, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Stir-fry 1 minute more.
