Cantonese-style Eight Treasure Stir-fry
- 100 grams Ham (thinly sliced)
- 5 to 6 medium Shrimps
- 6 to 10 Quail eggs
- 50 grams Cooked bamboo shoot in water
- 1 bunch Bok choy
- 2 Shiitake mushrooms
- 1/4 to 1/3 Carrot
- 5 to 6 Dried wood ear mushrooms
- 200 ml Water
- 2 tsp Chicken stock granules
- 2 tbsp Sake
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (see Hints)
- 1 pinch Sugar
- 1 Katakuriko slurry (1:1 ratio)
- 1 Vegetable oil
- Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and season with soy sauce and sake (not listed).
- Peel and remove the tail of the shrimp.
- Devein, then rub with a little katakuriko and salt (not listed) to clean, then wash. Pat dry, then season with salt and pepper (not listed).
- Boil the quail eggs and peel.
- Cut the bamboo shoot into bite sized pieces (slice the tips into wedges, and thinly slice the rest).
- Rehydrate the dried wood ear mushrooms, wash off any dirt and cut in half.
- Cut the carrot into thin rectangular slices.
- Thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms.
- Cut the stems of the bok choy in half lengthwise, and roughly chop the leaves.
- Add katakuriko dissolved in water little by little until the sauce has thickened to your liking (it should be just thick enough to cling to the ingredients).
- If there's too much oil in the frying pan, wipe with a paper towel, leaving just about 1 tablespoon.
- If there's too little oil, add a bit.
- Stir-fry the cut vegetables.
- When the bok choy leaves have softened, add the ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Keep stir frying until the sauce has reduced to about 2/3.
- When the sauce has reduced, put the pork and shrimp back in the pan, and add the boiled and peeled quail eggs too.
- You just need to heat through the ingredients added later.
- Add katakuriko dissolved in water little by little until the sauce has thickened to your liking (It should be just thick enough to cling to the ingredients).
- Transfer to a serving plate and serve.
