  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces fresh firm tofu, cut into thin strips or small cubes
  • 2 baby bok choy thinly sliced
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 pound lean pork, cut into thin strips or 1 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup stock to form paste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Soak mushrooms and lily flowers in boiling hot water for 20 minutes. Drain and reserve soaking liquid.
