Method:

1. Combine the ground ginger, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar together until they are well blended. Stir in the meat slices and baste them thoroughly. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, basting occasionally.

2. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with kitchen towels. Discard the marinade.

3. Heat the oil in a large frying-pan. When it is hot, add the ginger and fry for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the mat, bamboo shoots and mushrooms and fry, stirring and turning occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.

4. Transfer the mixture to a warmed serving dish and serve at once.
