Steps:
- For the sauce: Stir together the stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and pepper in a small bowl, making sure the cornstarch is dissolved well. Set aside.
- For the vegetable stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Swirl in
- the oil to coat the bottom. When you see wisps of white smoke, add the tofu and stir-fry until light brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. Then add the ginger and stir-fry it until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, carrots, cabbage and snow peas and keep them moving while searing. Don't be scared to scrape the pan and fold the vegetables over many times. Cook until the Napa cabbage gets bright green and starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the sauce, coat all the vegetables and tofu and bring the sauce to a boil. The cornstarch will thicken into a glaze, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: This will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture.
- Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many vegetables to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry over high heat: This will help the vegetables stay crisp and tender.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should still have a slight crunch to them.
- Add sauce at the end: This will help prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot.

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They are also a great way to use up leftovers. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of stir-fries. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give stir-fry a try.
