evenly spaced notches into rim of each slice (don't cut into center core).
Carrots should look like little flowers. Parboil turnip & carrots in stock
until barely tender. Remove from stock & plunge pieces into cold water;
drain. Cut onions, asparagus & baby corn into 1 1/2" pieces. Mince together
fresh ginger root & Tientsin preserved vegetable. Insmall pot or beaker on
medium heat, render pieces of chicken fat.

Stir-frying: Add peanut oil to hot wok. When it begins to smoke, briskly
fry crab meat or shrimp for 1 minute. Add asparagus, baby corn, mushrooms &
water chestnuts, stir-frying until they are hot. Add ginger mixture, then
onions. Stir-fry another 30 seconds. Add 1/2 stock, salt & sugar; bring to
boil. Add turnips & carrots. Cover & reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes.
Uncover, push ingredients out of liquid, & dribble in cornstarch paste to
thicken slightly. Stir liquid to prevent lumping while it thickens to a
thick soup. Recombine, then mix in chicken oil. Remove to serving platter.
