1/2 c Peanut oil
1/2 c Mashed cooked carrot
2/3 c Mashed potato
1 c Finely shredded bamboo
-- shoots
8 Chinese mushrooms
1/4 lb Snow peas
1/2 ts Sugar
1 1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Rice vinegar

Soak mushrooms for 15 minutes, drain and slice into thin strips. Chop tips off snow peas, then slice thinly. Heat oil, Stir fry carrot and potato until crispy, about 4 minutes. Add bamboo, mushrooms and peas, stir fry for 2 minutes. Add sugar and salt, mix well. Add vinegar and serve.

"Yum. . . but a little oily. I served it with some rice vermicelli. Very exotic in both looks and taste. As bamboo shoots were not available in my area I used heart of palm which works  just as well. I might cut back to 1/3 cup peanut oil - even with noodles there was excess."
