1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tsp cornflour
1 tsp hoisin sauce

Method
  1. Parboil the snow peas, baby corn, fresh mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and asparagus till they are tender.
  2. Drain and immerse them in cold water to refresh them. Drain again and keep aside.
  3. Heat the oil in another pan and add the onions and garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add the soaked black mushrooms, bean sprouts and sauté for another minute.
  5. Add the parboiled vegetables and salt and stir fry over a high flame for a few minutes.

Tips
  1. To use dried black mushrooms (shitake), you have to soak them in water for at least half an hour.

  3. They are available at few grocery stores and vegetables vendors.
