Instructions: Soak cloud ears and bean starch noodles separately in warm water for 30 minutes, or until soft. Wash and dice pressed beancurd into 1/4" cubes.

Heat peanut oil in medium hot wok; add ginger and garlic; remove when oil becomes fragrant. Take care not to burn garlic; if you do, start over.

Lightly saute one steak at a time in aromatic oil until surface is firm.

In clay pot, combine chicken stock, cloud ears, sherry, salt and pepper.

Bring to boil; add bean thread noodles; return to boil. Now, reduce liquid to gentle simmer; add salmon steaks carefully so they remain whole; add diced bean curd. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until steaks are cooked.

Uncover, swirl in red vinegar and sesame oil. Garnish with parsley.
