Chinese Mushroom and Broccoli

 
     
 
Okay, so I'm not the greatest broccoli fan in the world, so I usually make it with just the mushrooms, but I'm sure there must be broccoli lovers out there somewhere!
12 dried Chinese mushrooms 12 oz broccoli (florets are best)
3 tbl peanut oil or corn oil 4 thin slices fresh peeled ginger
4 spring onions 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp sugar
     
Sauce:
1 tsp. potato flour 6 tbl mushroom water
2 tbl. oyster sauce
     
Cut the spring onions into 1 inch sections and separate the white and green parts.

Reconstitute the mushrooms, then simmer in about 3/4 pint of water for about 30 minutes. When cool, cut off the stems and discard. Squeeze out any excess water, but leave damp. Reserve the soaking liquid for the sauce.

Peel off the hard outer layer of the broccoli stalks and cut into large bit-sized pieces.

Prepare the sauce by dissolving the potato flour in the mushroom water. Stir in the soy or oyster sauce.

Heat a wok or frying pan until hot. Add the ginger and the white parts of the spring onions. Stir a few times, then tip in the mushrooms. Stir a few more times and add the broccoli. Flip and toss for about 30 seconds. Add about 7 tbl of mushroom water and sprinkle with the salt and sugar. Cover and cook over moderate heat for about 6 minutes.

Remove the cover. Taste to see if the broccoli is ready.

Give the sauce a stir and pour it over the broccoli and mushrooms, stirring continuously as it thickens. Add the green parts of the spring onions and stir to mix, then serve.
