Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 Sq seasoned pressed beancurd 1/2 c Chicken stock
2 Stalks celery 1/4 ts Salt
1 lg Carrot 1 pn Sugar
6 c Boiling water 1/2 ts Ginger root, minced
1/2 c Giant bamboo shoots, cut 2 ts Medium sherry
Into sticks 1/2 ts Sesame oil
1/2 md White onion Cornstarch paste
1 tb Peanut oil

Preparation: Cut pressed beancurd into sticks 2" long, the size of a
lead pencil. Wash and trim celery and carrots; trim strings from
back of celery; cut into sticks to match pressed beancurd. Wash and
slice giant bamboo shoot across grain to match beancurd sticks. Peel
onion, take apart layers; cut into sticks.

Combine chicken stock, salt, sugar, ginger, sherry and sesame oil in
bowl. Reserve.

Put carrots in rapidly boiling water; in 15 seconds, add celery; in
another 15 seconds, drain and plunge vegetables into running cold
water to stop cooking process. Drain and reserve.

Stir-frying: Heat wok to very hot; add oil. Let oil heat for a few
seconds, then add onions; toss for 10 seconds. Add celery, carrots and
bamboo shoots; toss for 1 minute. Slowly pour in chicken stock mixture
around sides of pan so it will heat quickly. When liquid boils, add
beancurd sticks, taking care not to break pieces. Thicken liquid
slightly with a dribble or two of cornstarch paste. Keep stirring
gently to reduce liquid. Remove to serving platter.
