Instructions

Rinse the choy sum with water and allow it to drain. Trim off the stem ends. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the White Sauce. Stir well to mix, then set aside.

Heat a wok and add cooking oil. Stir-fry the ginger until it turns light brown and becomes aromatic. Add the shrimp, mushrooms, and carrots, and stir-fry quickly until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.

Add the choy sum to the wok and stir quickly. Pour the white sauce mixture into the wok and continue stir-frying until the sauce thickens. By this time, the vegetables should be perfectly cooked but not overdone. Dish out and serve immediately.
