Ingredients
- 1 knob ginger, peeled and julienned
- vegetable oil
- 2 large carrots, julienned
- 1 cup bamboo shoots, julienned (see note)
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine
- 1 large piece white radish, julienned and salted to drain off excess liquid (see Note)
- ½ bunch coriander, washed very well and roughly chopped
Instructions
Deep-fry ginger in 5 cm of oil (in a wok) and when brown add carrots and stir fry. When slightly softened, (after just a couple of minutes), remove, place in metal strainer and allow excess oil to drain.
Tip excess oil out of pan. Add the bamboo shoots then add wine and return carrots and ginger to the wok. Toss in the drained radish and the coriander and stir briefly until it wilts.
Arrange neatly on serving dish with some of the cooked coriander on top for garnish.
Note
• White radish and bamboo shoots can be replaced by two medium large potatoes, also julienned and quickly blanched in boiling water before deep-frying.
