Ingredients:

115g / 4 oz dried Chinese mushrooms
2 tbsp vegetable or peanut oil
6 spring onions, chopped
55g / 2 oz dry unsweetened coconut
1 fresh green chilli, deseeded and chopped

Place the mushrooms in a small bowl, cover with hot water and set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Drain, then cut off and discard the stalks and slice the caps.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok and stir-fry the spring onions, coconut and chilli for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
