1 to 1 1/2 lb. sirloin steak
2 tbsp. oil
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. of monosodium glutamate (if desired)
2/3 c. water
1/2 c. of soy sauce
1 c. green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 med. onions, sliced
6 oz. can (3/4) bamboo shoots, drained
1 1/2 c. fresh sliced mushrooms or 8 oz. (1 c.) mushrooms, drained
16 oz. can (2 c.) bean sprouts, drained
8 oz. can (2/3 c.) water chestnuts, sliced

Cut meat into paper-thin slices across grain (frozen meat easier to cut) then cut into strips 1 inch wide. In large skillet or wok, brown meat in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes. Combine sugar, monosodium glutamate, water and soy sauce, pour over meat.

Push meat to one side of skillet. Keeping ingredients separate, add green onions, onion slices and bamboo shoots; stir fry 5 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Push vegetables to one side. Add mushrooms, bean sprouts and water chestnuts, still keeping ingredients separate. Cook 2 minutes or until heated through. Serve with rice. 4 servings.
