Instructions

  1. Soak the dried shiitake in hot water to cover for about 30 minutes, until plump. Squeeze out excess liquid, and keep the soaking water. Leave small mushrooms whole and slice large ones into thin strips.
  2. Bring a large deep skillet of water (about 2 inches deep) to a boil with a little salt. Blanch the Chinese broccoli for about 1 minute, then remove it and discard the water.
  3. Mix all the sauce ingredients until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  4. Heat the oil in the empty skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the shiitake and pan-fry for about 3 minutes.
  5. Pour in the sauce and let it bubble and thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the Chinese broccoli and toss to coat. Serve.
