This recipe won a grand prize at the easy recipe contest organized by Ajinomoto. I received the prize from chef Wakiya Yuji (脇屋 友詞) who is famous for creative Chinese food in Japan.http://www.ajinomoto.co.jp/chukadashi/contest/For the seasoning, I used chicken stock and white miso. The chicken stock adds a nice and rich flavor and white miso makes the dish slightly sweet and tasty!It can be very colorful and festive recipe for Chinese Lunar New Year's day. Also, it is perfect for every-day bento box :)BTW, at our wedding, we could luckily cater chef Wakiya's fancy and healthy Chinese cuisine from "トゥーランドット遊仙境 - Turandot Yusenkyo" restaurant in Akasaka. http://createeathappy.blogspot.com/2010/10/our-wedding-reception-foods.html---------------------------------Chinese Style White Miso Stir Fried Seven VegetablesDifficulty: EasyTime: 20minNumber of servings: 2Ingredients:75g (2.6oz.) ham100g (3.5oz.) onion50g (1.8oz.) carrot100g (3.5oz.) zucchini100g (3.5oz.) bean sprouts50g (1.8oz.) red bell pepper6 dried cloud ear mushrooms (you can use 3 shiitake mushrooms)A* 2 tbsp. white miso (it tastes different but you can use 1 tbsp. regular miso)* 1 tbsp. sake* 1 tbsp. mirin (sweet sake)* 1/2 tbsp. chicken stock powder* 1 tsp. sugar1/2 tbsp. cooking oilcracked black pepperDirections:1.
