Instructions
Clean portobello: scrape and discard gills. Clean, cut mushroom into tangerine slice-triangle wedges; wipe stem, cut lengthwise.
Boil 2 quarts of vegetarian stock or water. Drop mushrooms, stir and cook for two minutes. Remove, drain in colander, run cold water over them to cool, stirring. (The boiling keeps mushrooms larger than they would be in frying.)
Heat 4 tsp olive or vegetable oil in wok—not too hot. Add vegetables and cool until till pretty done—judge by cabbage and green vegetables.

Mix together. Stir vegetables and sauce together well. Serves two—it’s a lot, but you likely won’t leave any leftovers.
Notes
Alternative One. Pre-cook 10 medium large shrimps and toss in when the vegetables are almost done, and mix all with sauce. Should serve three—or more with rice stir-fry vegetable.
