Stir-fried Beef with Mixed Vegetables - A home-style recipe featuring wood ear mushrooms, yam, carrots, green beans, and various other vegetables.

Soak dried wood ear mushrooms until softened, rub them with flour, and cut into wide strips; peel and thinly slice Chinese yam; peel and thinly slice carrots; wash green beans thoroughly under running water. Soak green beans in a solution of baking soda for 20 minutes to remove pesticide residue. Rinse thoroughly under running water and drain. Cut into diagonal sections. Slice or crush half a head of garlic.

Use fresh beef, choosing cuts such as brisket, marbled beef, or tenderloin, and slice thinly against the grain. Add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and a pinch of white pepper; mix well, then add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and mix well again; add a suitable amount of shredded ginger and mix well. Add a suitable amount of vegetable oil to seal in moisture. Marinate for 30 minutes.

Marinate the beef for 30 minutes. Heat a pan with plenty of oil. When the oil is about 70% hot, add the beef.

Stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes, until the beef changes color. Remove and set aside.

Heat a pan with a little oil over low heat. Add the green beans and stir-fry until they change color. Then add the wood ear mushrooms, yam, and carrots, and continue to stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon (1.5 grams) of salt and 1 tablespoon (10 grams) of light soy sauce, and stir-fry evenly. Add the stir-fried beef and stir-fry for 1 minute.

Add one spoonful of cornstarch to three spoonfuls of water. Pour the cornstarch slurry along the edge of the pan to thicken the sauce. Stir-fry for two minutes, until the moisture evaporates. Finally, sprinkle with a little MSG for added flavor. Serve.
