Add the reconstituted and drained mushrooms, bean curd stick, wood ear fungus, lily bulb, and water. Bring to boil then cover the pan and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, until daikon is tender and dried ingredients are soft. If sauce has evaporated, add more water.

Tip: I would advise adding the carrots in later because they soften very quickly and break down. The same happens to mung bean threads if overcooked. Shrimp, however, becomes very tough. Or according to my brother, turns into organic chewing gum.
