Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 Tbs. reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1-1/2 Tbs. hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbs. dry sherry
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 Tbs. + 1 Tbs. peanut oil
  • 2 cups diced shiitake caps

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy and hoisin sauces, sherry, and cornstarch with 1/4 cup water. 
  2. In a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbs. oil until shimmering. Stir-fry the mushrooms until lightly browned, 2–3 minutes. Add the celery, radish, and scallions and stir-fry until hot, 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
