Stir Fried Lotus Root and Mushroom

TT's Kitchen

I was thinking of cooking a dish out of the lotus root we bought fr the market last weekend. Lotus root goes well with the chinese mushrooms.
Don't ask me the exact ingredients, more or less give and take with the basic to suit your taste bud.
I did browse through the internet for some ideas, unable to retrive the exact recipe as I couldn't locate the link. So this will do, moreover I also altered by adding more of this and that....

Couple of chinese mushroom (soak them with water to soften it)
Diced carrots ( I boiled them first to soften it)
Sliced Lotus root
2 slices of ginger

1 tb of Oyster Sauce
1 tb soy sauce
sugar (a few teaspoons)
salt
pinch of MSG (optional)
Dash of chicken essence/chicken stock
Sesame oil
Corn Starch for thickening (I obmitted as mine was dry! LOL)

Throw in all the ingredients and add in the sauce and FRY.....
Add in some water to avoid burning ( I cooked mine in a pot)
Don't over cook as the lotus root tastes nice cruncy and retains the juices.
If you wish you can take them out first and then cook the mushrooms longer.
Voila....healthy food. At the end of the cooking just add in the sesame oil
