Yesterday I scoured the frig and dug out the last bits of groceries since the shopping trip 2 weeks ago.
I chopped up the green beans and shiitake mushroom into short strips, saute with garlic, added water and covered to steam a while, and then threw in chopped pieces of a wrinkly tofu product known as "vegetarian chicken".
Salt, pepper, a bit of soy sauce, a couple of tablespoons of sugar should do. I dropped a scoop of "lemongrass sauce" from a jar for improvisational fun.
It probably needed five more minutes to soften a bit more, but I lost patience and turned the gas off. Served on white rice.

I've seen plenty of Lee Kum kee sauce but not Lemongrass. Is it nice?
The flavor is quite mild. I like it. Beats making my own lemongrass sauce ...
A couple of tablespoonful of sugar...that was quite a lot! You must be from JiangZhe-Shanghai area.
Not I, but yes my mother is.
BTW the sugar was not a lot in proportion to the amount of main ingredients.
