This was an incredibly fast, easy and simple stir fry. It took about 15 minutes from the minute I turned on the gas burner to when the foot hit my lips. I didn't want to take the time to make rice but I think it would be great to soak up the slurry. I used all fresh veggies which I think made it much more flavorful than using frozen.

We very much enjoyed this, quick and easy to prepare, an excellent and colourful blend of fresh vegetables. I made the dish as directed, didn't add tofu :) , did use the slurry. the trick to the slurry is to be sure that you have thoroughly blended the cornstarch with the liquid, and to add some of the sauce to the slurry before adding to the wok. Well, that works for me, anyway! I served it on eggnoodles, for a tasty and healthy supper. Would quite easily serve it on rice as well, but we'd had rice the night before, I wanted to vary it! Thanks Rita, for another excellent recipe :)

We did this for dinner last night, however, I don't buy black bean sauce. I use the fermented black beans. So instead of adding the already made sauce to the liquids, I stir-fried the garlic, black beans and some ginger in the wok first. I added some x-firm tofu and allowed it to brown. Then added the mushrooms and allowed them to give up their juice. After removing them, I stir-fried the veggies, adding a little broth and covering them, to steam slightly. I didn't make a separate slurry, either, but added the corn starch to the rest of the liquid. <br/><br/>All this means that I'm not certain I actually made the same dish, even tho I used most of the same ingredients. We liked it, although it reminded DH of another dish we make. I'll probably make this one again, however, as the other dish doesn't have broccoli, one of our favorite veggies.
