Broccoli and mixed mushrooms in garlic black bean sauce

Method

1. Put all the ingredients for the garlic black bean sauce in a food processor and blitz briefly. Don’t process to a smooth paste – you want to keep some texture.
2. Heat a wok over high heat and add the oil. When it smokes, add the ginger and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for a further 1-2 minutes. Add a few small dashes of water (if you have a wok with a lid, put the lid on now to create some steam to cook the broccoli).
3. Add the oyster and shiitake mushrooms and stir gently, taking care not to break them up. Add the black bean sauce and hot vegetable stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Season with light soy sauce, to taste. Add the blended cornflour paste and cook to thicken for a minute, then serve immediately.
