Background

I thought I would try this Samphire & fennel stir fry because, as with almost all vegetables, stir-frying in a wok is quick, healthy, easy and, above all, really tasty. This one's no exception! There are several ingredients is and the subtle flavours of the samphire & fennel can still be distinguished.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp peanut (groundnut) oil
3 cloves garlic
3 spring onions
1½ cm fresh ginger
100g fresh samphire
1 fennel bulb
150g haricot beans
100g shitake mushrooms
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp Shaoxing rice wine
1 Tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

Peal & finely chop the garlic, onions and ginger. Wash and separate the samphire, halving the longer strands. Cut the other vegetables into smallish chunks.
Heat a wok over a high heat.
Add the oil and, when it is hot and slightly smoking, add the onion, garlic & ginger for a minute or so.
Add the vegetables, stir-fry for 30 seconds then add the water, cover and cook over a high heat for 2 minutes.
Add the soy sauce, sugar and rice wine. Stir-fry for another couple of minutes then add the sesame oil, stirring well, and serve at once.
