This is a fabulous and healthy recipe - very low on carbs. I use a mixture of chopped vegetables including carrots, asparagus, broccoli, beans, capsicum and anything else I have on hand.
Ingredients:
8 dried dried chinese mushrooms, soaked in hot water 30 mins chopped
1 iceberg lettuce, washed dried trimmed into cups
750 g chopped vegetables
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
4 spring onions, finely chopped
10 water chestnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons caster sugar
2 tablespoons bean paste
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock or 1/2 cup water
Directions:
1. Heat peanut oil in large wok.
2. Add garlic and vegetables, fry for a few minutes then add soy sauce.
3. Fry until cooked but still crunchy.
4. Add spring onions and cook for a few minutes.
5. Having whisked all the sauce ingredients together, make a well in the middle of the mixture and pour it inches.
6. Bring to the boil and stir, simmering for a few minutes until it thickens.
7. Sprinkle with pinenuts and serve in the pan to keep warm.
8. Serve this with a plate of lettuce cups placing a few spoons of the mixture in the lettuce.
