Quantity Ingredient
4 Dry Shiitake mushrooms
½ To 3/4 Lb. Catfish fillets
1 tablespoon Salad oil
1 tablespoon Julienned peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons Red-in-snow (optional)
4 cups Low-salt chicken broth

2 tablespoons Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dry sherry
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 large Green onion, cut diagonally into 1 inch pieces

Soak mushrooms in warm water until caps are tender, 15 to 30 minutes.

Drain and squeeze gently to remove some of the water. Cut off and discard stems; thinly slice caps. Set aside.

Rinse fish and pat dry. Cut fillets into 1-by 1½ inch pieces; set aside.

Place a wok or 3 to 4 quart saucepan over high heat. When hot, add oil and swirl to coat cooking surface. Add ginger and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, fish and red-in-snow; stir until fish turns opaque on outside, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, tofu, soy sauce, sherry and sugar; bring soup to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour into a tureen and sprinkle with green onions and sesame oil. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
