directions
- In a medium hot skillet, saute the vegetables in 2 Tbs of the oil, starting with the hardest ones first, but holding the broccoli until later.
- Stir frequently and adjust the oil as needed.
- When the eggplant is just done, add the broccoli and continue cooking for two more minutes.
- Using a sifter, "snow" the cornstarch over the vegetables, stir, and snow again.
- Continue alternately sifting in the starch and stirring. The object is to coat the vegetables with the starch.
- Mix in the minced ginger.
- Stir the vegetable bouillon in the hot water and add the soy sauce.
