Ingredients:

1	large	Potato, cooked, peeled and
		-slice ?inch thick
2	tbsp	Flour
		Peanut oil for frying
1	small	Onion, sliced
1/2	lbs	Snow peas
10		Wood ears, soaked to
		-soften, tough ends
		-removed, cut in slivers
1/2	tsp	Salt
1/2	tsp	Sugar
1/3	cup	Water

Procedures:

1	Here"s one for mock fish, using potatoes to replace the finny critter, that sounds like a pretty tasty vegetarian dish regardless of how much the potato resembles a fish.
2	Sprinkle potatoes with flour and deep-fry until golden.
3	Drain and set aside.
4	Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil, reheat an add onion.
5	Stir-fry for 10 seconds and add snow peas and wood ears.
6	Stir- fry for another 10 seconds and add salt, sugar and water.
7	Bring to rapid boil, stirring constantly, and cook until peas are just tender crisp.
8	Add reserved fried potato slices, heat through and serve.
9	Wood ears are a type of mushroom or shelf fungus.
10	When soaked it has a crunchy, gelatinous texture with little taste.
11	If you can"t find them, i imagine that you could use the dried mushrooms although they wouldn"t give exactly the same effect.
12	A closer substitute would be dried jellyfish, but if you"re somewhere that sells dried jellyfish, i"m sure that they have wood ears as well
