Stir-fried Luffa Gourd

Luffa Gourds are normally stir-fried with eggs, especially in Chinese Fast food stalls.  As I was browsing through Minty's Kitchen Blog recently I came across this dish. The dish looks so appetizing and it's simply irresistible, so I decided to cook it, and it's so sweet and tasty.

Ingredients:

1 luffa gourd (peeled and cut at an angle into 1" pieces)

1/4 carrot (peeled and julienne)

1 piece wood-ear fungus (washed, soaked, trimmed off hard part and sliced thinly)

Some goji berries (rinsed)

2 cloves garlic (chopped)

2 tbsp cooking Oil

Water

Chicken stock granules (to taste)

Dash of pepper

Methods:

1. Heat oil in a wok and saute the chopped garlic until lightly brown.
2. Add in the luffa, carrot and wood-ear fungus, stir to mix, then sprinkle dash of chicken stock granules and add some water.
3. Add in the goji berries, continue to stir and taste for correct seasoning.
4. Once the luffa is tender drizzle dash of pepper, give it a quick mix and off the heat.
5. Dish and serve.

Notes: The amount of the complimenting ingredients for this dish, such as carrot, goji berries and wood-ear fungus need not be specific, it is all up to individual preference.
