Mixed Vegetarian Vegetables Recipe

(Nyonya Recipe)

220g cabbage, sliced finely

350g yam beans (mengkuang), julienne

100g carrot, julienne

5 dried Chinese shiitake mushrooms, soaked and sliced finely (stems removed)

1 onion, halved and sliced finely

1 stalk leek, sliced at a slant

½ cup water

60g vegetarian ham, shredded

1 teaspoon chopped ginger

1 teaspoon chopped garlic (optional)

3 tablespoons oil

100g butterhead lettuce

Sauce:

3 tablespoons vegetarian oyster sauce, mushroom flavored

1 teaspoon sugar or to taste

a pinch of pepper

a pinch of salt or to taste

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Method:

Heat oil in a wok and fry garlic and ginger until fragrant.  Add the mushrooms and vegetarian ham and fry for a while.  Put in yam beans and carrot and pour in the water.  Add in combined sauce ingredients and stir-fry until the vegetables are soft.  Simmer for 8-10 minutes.  Stir occasionally to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the wok.  Add cabbage, onion and leek and stir-fry well to combine until the gravy is slightly dry.  Dish out and serve, wrapped in butterhead lettuce.  You may also serve this dish with sambal belachan.
