Directions

Begin by soaking the shiitake mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes. After soaking, remove them from the water, dice them, and reserve the liquid they were soaking in.
Before starting to cook, gather all your ingredients and ensure everything is prepared and ready to go.
Heat a wok over high heat and add some peanut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef mince. Flatten it out, but try not to move it for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, white parts of the spring onions, a pinch of salt, and white pepper on top of the beef.
After 1-2 minutes, start to toss the mixture, then add the mushrooms and water chestnuts.
Stir in all the black pepper, soy sauces, oyster sauce, and about 30ml (2 tbsp) of the reserved mushroom stock. Mix well. Then, dissolve the cornflour in 1 tablespoon of water and stir it into the mixture. Cook until everything is well combined and the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve the mixture next to large leaves of baby gem or iceberg lettuce. Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions on the beef. Enjoy!
