I got this out of an old cook book that came with the electric wok that my parents bought back in the 80's. I jotted down a few of the recipes. I'd love to have that book again. It sure did have some great recipes in it. The store didn't have any straw mushrooms the day I took this picture so I had to use regular mushrooms. It's delicious either way! Anyway, enjoy!
