Equipment

  • wok or frying pan

Ingredients

  • 3.5 oz White onion, julienned 100 g or 1/2 a medium onion
  • 3.5 oz Leek sliced 100 g or 1 medium leek
  • 5 oz Oyster mushrooms, halved 150 g or 1 standard tray
  • 6 oz Canned sprouted mung beans 1 drained jar/can, rinsed and well-drained.
  • 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds lightly roasted
  • 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil or sesame oil

Instructions

Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil (or sesame oil) in a wok or large skillet. Sauté the julienned onion and leek. If possible, use quick wrist movements to toss the vegetables as they cook.
Add mushrooms: Add the halved oyster mushrooms and continue to stir-fry over high heat.
Add sprouts: Stir in the rinsed and well-drained mung bean sprouts. Keep tossing the mixture to ensure even cooking.

Season: Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir well with a spatula or toss to combine. Do not add salt. The sauces provide more than enough flavor and sodium.

Transfer the stir-fry to a bowl and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
