INSTRUCTIONS
1. Soak dried mushrooms.
2. Shred pork. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce, sherry, sugar and oil,
then add to pork and toss to coat.
3. Separately shred bamboo shoots, celery, smoked ham, deep-fried bean
curd and soaked mushrooms. Crush garlic.
4. Blend remaining cornstarch and cold water to a paste, then stir in
oyster sauce, remaining sugar, and pepper.
5. Heat oil. Add salt, then garlic and brown lightly. Add pork and
stir-fry until it loses its pinkness (about 1 to 2 minutes).
6. Add bamboo shoots, celery and mushrooms, and stir-fry 1 minute more.
7. Stir in stock and heat quickly; then cook, covered, 2 minutes over
medium heat.
8. Stir in cornstarch mixture to thicken. Then add shredded bean curd,
stirring in only to heat through. Serve at once, garnished with shredded
ham.
NOTE: The deep-fried bean curd is available already cooked in Chinese
food stores or may be prepared at home.
