Buddha’s Stir-Fried Vegetables Recipe

Buddha’s Stir-Fried Vegetables Recipe

This recipe for stir-fried vegetables comes from Ching-He Huang’s wonderful book, Chinese Food Made Easy so I’m sure you’ll enjoy it along with any of her other recipes that you try.  If you can’t get some of the mushrooms, substitute any wild mushrooms or other vegetables.
