It's another mushroom dish. Told you we love mushrooms! What I like about this King Oyster Mushroom is how it looks like and the texture when it's cooked. I always pass it off as braised sliced abalone. My husband got tricked the first time I did this. *giggle*
I prefer to add an additional green with the mushroom. In this case, I added Kai Lan (芥兰) aka Chinese Broccoli. You can always use other veggies. Try this if you are expecting guests for dinner. It's cheap and easy yet presentable.
Does the picture looks like a lotus flower? Have a petal!

How to do it:

Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Haha ... had you lunch yet?
These mushrooms are some of my favs - they are huge! I love that sliced, they look like abalone.
ReplyDeleteJaden,
ReplyDeleteWe love mushrooms! Especially me. I can have them everyday! :p
Thanks. I like to do that to bluff my hubby. He always say I'm stingy not to cook abalone. That can of abalone is still sitting in my store. haha ...
I saw this mushroom, but never tasted it before and dunno how to cook. Then I saw this post, I copied, it was nice =p~~ *slurp*. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I like the bite. A bit chewy. ;) Glad you like it.
Thanks for the recipe. I didn't really know what I was doing the first two times I cooked this (I'm eating my second attempt right now) and I guess I'm not far off! I also got suggestions for using chicken or pork oil, boullion, and garlic to enhance the taste of this sort of dish. Either way, I love the taste of these mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pipeapple1 for the suggestion.
