INSTRUCTIONS
Here's one for mock fish, using potatoes to replace the finny critter,
that sounds like a pretty tasty vegetarian dish regardless of how much
the potato resembles a fish. Sprinkle potatoes with flour and deep-fry
until golden. Drain and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of
the oil, reheat an add onion. Stir-fry for 10 seconds and add snow
peas and wood ears. Stir- fry for another 10 seconds and add salt,
sugar and water. Bring to rapid boil, stirring constantly, and cook
until peas are just tender crisp. Add reserved fried potato slices,
heat through and serve. Wood ears are a type of mushroom or shelf
fungus. When soaked it has a crunchy, gelatinous texture with little
taste. If you can't find them, I imagine that you could use the dried
mushrooms although they wouldn't give exactly the same effect. A
closer substitute would be dried jellyfish, but if you're somewhere
that sells dried jellyfish, I'm sure that they have wood ears as well.
