Steps:
1.Today, I want to share with you the correct way to make a delicious and healthy dish – Stir-fried wood ear fungus and yam. This dish not only has a delicate texture but also has various health benefits such as nourishing the lungs and stomach, and replenishing the kidneys. It is definitely a dish that is even more flavorful than meat dishes. Let’s make it together! First, prepare a suitable amount of wood ear fungus and place them in a bowl. Add a little sugar and some warm water. Gently shake the bowl, and after just three minutes, the wood ear fungus will be soaked. Soaking the mushrooms in this way not only makes them plump and beautiful but also more crisp and tender. Next, rinse the soaked wood ear fungus with cold water to remove any dust and impurities. This step is very important because only clean wood ear fungus can make delicious dishes.
2.Peel a yam. If you are allergic to yam, you can wear gloves. After peeling, wash the yam thoroughly, then cut it diagonally into sections and slice them. Place the sliced yam in a plate. Prepare a clean green pepper and cut it into chunks. Place the red pepper in the plate as well. Cut half a red red pepper into chunks and add them to the plate. Cut a carrot diagonally into sections and then slice it. Next, slice two cloves of garlic and put them all in the plate for later use.
3.Pour enough water into a pot and heat it over high heat. Add a suitable amount of salt to enhance the flavor of the ingredients. Then add a few drops of white vinegar, which can prevent the yam from oxidizing and turning black, and make the ingredients crispier. Next, add the sliced yam, wood ear fungus, and carrots into the pot to blanch them. Blanch for about 30 seconds. This can effectively remove impurities and odors from the ingredients and make them fresher. After blanching, pour out the ingredients and drain off excess water. This step is crucial because draining off excess water ensures that the ingredients will not be too moist during the subsequent cooking process, which could affect the texture.
4.Add a little edible oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the green and red peppers and stir-fry until they are slightly cooked. After that, add the yam, wood ear fungus, and carrots. Stir-fry evenly, and then start seasoning. Add a little salt, a little sugar for freshness, and stir-fry on high heat for about ten seconds to bring out the flavor. Finally, pour in some water starch to thicken the sauce. Before removing from the heat, drizzle some sesame oil to enhance the dish’s appearance. Stir-fry evenly and then transfer to a plate. Friends who like this dish, give it a try now.
Tips
1.Soak the wood ear fungus in advance and clean them thoroughly to remove impurities and dust.

3.If you prefer a softer texture for the wood ear fungus, you can extend the blanching time slightly during cooking.
