Preparation
- Soak the cloud-ear fungus in warm water for at least 15 minutes. Rinse them several times in cold running water to remove any sand. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- If you are using the Chinese long beans, trim the ends and cut them into 3-inch segments. If you are using green beans, trim the ends and cut them in half.
- Peel off the tough outer skin of the silk squash and cut the vegetable at a slight diagonal into 2-inch pieces.
- Heat a wok or large saute pan until it is hot and add the oil. Put in the shallots, garlic, ginger, cloud ears and long beans. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the silk squash, oyster sauce, rice wine, soy sauce, salt, sugar and chicken stock. Cook over high heat, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Serve at once.
