Step 1
Peel the 1 medium lotus root, slice into thin rounds, and soak in water with a splash of vinegar to prevent browning. Drain before cooking.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the 1 tsp chili flakes and stir for 10 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the drained lotus root, 1 cup rehydrated black fungus, and 100g baby corn. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the lotus root is crisp-tender and slightly translucent.
Step 4
Push vegetables to one side, add 200g shrimp, and cook for 2 minutes until pink. Stir everything together.
Step 5
Pour in 2 tbsp soy sauce and toss for 1 minute until glossy. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
