strips, julienne style.

6. Cut bamboo shoot tips into thin slices.

7. Peel water chestnuts (using potato peeler) and cut a little off

chestnuts are already peeled.)

8. Heat wok, add 1 t. oil and stir-fry the bamboo tips and water

are used, stir-fry them separately in 1 teaspoon oil for 1-2 minutes,
adding 2 teaspoons sugar.) Set aside.

9. Heat wok, add 1 teaspoon oil and stir-fry mushrooms, celery and
yellow onion for 3 minutes, with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon
sugar. Set aside.

12. Thicken with a mixture made with the cornstarch and 2 tablespoon
cold water. Bring to a boil, cook for 1 minute and turn off the heat.
