　　　Method: Both lotus seeds and red dates should be briefly blanched in boiling water first.

　　1. First, thoroughly rinse the soaked wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and daylilies under cold water, then drain well. Cut the daylilies into 3.3 cm lengths with a knife. Boil the lotus seeds, red dates, and carrots in sequence in boiling water until just cooked, then drain them.

　　2. Place a wok over high heat, pour in oil and heat until about 80% hot. Add all ingredients except cucumber, carrot, and red dates to the wok and stir-fry. Add sugar, cooking wine, and chicken broth — use a slightly generous amount of broth so that the flower mushrooms and daylilies absorb more flavor. Stir well and simmer for about 4–5 minutes until the liquid comes to a boil. Then add sliced carrots, a little salt, and stir. Thicken with a cornstarch slurry, drizzle with sesame oil, top with cucumber slices, give it a few tosses, then serve and plate.
