Stir-fry mushrooms, shrimp & mustard green for 15 seconds. Add cabbage; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add stock mixture; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover wok, & simmer for 10 minutes, reducing liquid by half; add more stock if needed. Turn up heat; add enough cornstarch paste to make light sauce. Swirl in hot chicken oil. Serve.
