#  Black Bean Buddha’s Stir-fried Mixed Vegetables  


This famous Chinese dish typically contains straw mushrooms and dried lily flowers. However, you can use a bag of mixed stir-fry vegetables instead – beansprouts, cabbage, peppers and onions, or any assorted vegetable medley that you prefer. This recipe calls for fermented salted black beans, and although Chinese wood ear mushrooms can be bland in taste, they provide excellent textural crunch. Both these ingredients can be bought from a Chinese supermarket or online.
