Slice the lotus root and mushrooms, and cut the Chinese cabbage into large pieces.
Boil the lotus root in boiling water for 3 minutes and drain.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and turn the garlic and ginger for 1 minute.
Add the beef slices and saute for 4 minutes, until colored.
Add the shrimp and tofu, then cook for 3 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink.
Add the lotus root, mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, mala spice, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Toss over high heat for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are glossy and the sauce stays dry.
Serve hot with green onions.
💡 Tip: In mala xiang guo the goal is not a watery stew, but a glossy dry sauce coating the ingredients; the wok must be very hot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mala xiang guo for sharing with plain rice, cucumber, and cold jasmine tea.
