STIR FRY OYSTER MUSHROOMS WITH LONG BEANS

Eat more vege, drink more water, exercise often to stay healthy.  Yes, another point 'do not over stress'.  These are the very common spoken phrases that you often get to hear from friends when one complained about the 3 'highs' - blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol etc.   Some even tell you not to overeat, hehehe!
It is easier said than done. Needs discipline.  
This a simple, tasty vegetarian dish which may help you to eat more vegetables and it's meatless.  Not too bad for a start with this dish.

Ingredients
100 gm long beans - washed and cut into sections
50 gm carrots - sliced
200 gm fresh oyster mushrooms - cut thick pieces
3-4 dried mushrooms - soaked and sliced 
some shredded ginger
1 red chilli - seeded and cut strips
Some spring onions - cut sections
Seasoning [combined]
1 tbsp each of light soy sauce, oyster sauce and wine
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt to taste
1 tsp sesame seed oil
1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water

  1. Pan fry dried mushrooms and oyster mushrooms until aromatic.  Dish up.
  2. Heat up a non stick pan with 1/2 tbsp oil, fry long beans and carrots until long beans turn bright greenish colour.    Dish up. 
  3. Using the same pan, add a little oil, saute ginger until aromatic.  Returned all the fried ingredients into pan.  Stir to mix well.
  4. Add seasoning and some water.  Add more water if you like to have some gravy for this dish.  Bring to boil to cook the ingredients.  Add spring onions and stir in thickening.
  5. Dish up to serve.
