十香菜 - 我做的年菜 (二) Ten-ingredient mixed vegetables - One of the dishes I made for celebrating the new year (2)

This is a dish that I would make before the Chinese New Year celebration every year. Sometimes I would make it in large quantity so that I may share it with family and friends. Although the name of this dish is "Ten-ingredient mixed vegetables", you don't have to use exactly ten kinds of vegetables in this dish. You may also use any vegetables to your liking. The 11 ingredients I used this year are as follows.

• 豆腐乾 Dry tofu
  
• 白菜 Nappa cabbage
  
• 紅蘿蔔 Carrots
  
• 香菇 Dry shiitake mushrooms
  
• 木耳 A kind of edible tree fungus
  
• 蓮子 Lotus seeds
  
• 紅棗 Red dates
  
• 百合 Lily bulbs
  
• 芥菜雪裡紅 Pickled gai choy
  
• 筍絲 Bamboo shoots
  
• 金針 Daylilies

I cooked each ingredient separately and then mixed all of them together. Making this dish is very time-consuming since you are in fact cooking 10, more or less, dishes.
