The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

1/2 teaspoon water (for a cornflour paste)

4 ounces baby corn or bamboo shoots
4 ounces straw mushrooms (or any other mushroom variety)

directions
Cut the beef into thin strips. Place in a bowl and add the sugar, soy sauce, rice wine or dry sherry and cornflour paste. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 25-30 minutes.
Chop the broccoli and baby corn cobs (and mushrooms if large) into bite sized pieces. Cut the green onion into short sections.
Heat the oil in a preheated wok and stir-fry the beef until the color changes. Remove with a perforated spoon and drain.
Pour off the excess oil, leaving about 2 Tbsp in the wok, then add the vegetables and ginger. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes with the salt, then add the beef and oyster sauce.
Blend well and serve.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
