No comments


This vegetarian dish is so simple to prepare. Yet it looks so elegant for the honored guests.  Every broccoli and mushroom lovers will love this dish.

I was pleasantly surprised when my father-in-law who is never generous with his praises commented that he likes this dish when I first prepared it at home.

Ingredients:
  • 1          tablespoon vegetable oil 
  • 1/2      tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 7 - 8    slices young ginger
  • 200g   fresh shiitake ( presoaked in water)
  • 1 pkt    enoki mushrooms (optional)
  • 300g    broccoli, cut into florets

Seasoning:
  • 1       tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1       teaspoon light soy sauce
  • 1/4    teaspoon salt
  •          Dash of pepper
  •          300 ml hot water
  • 1       teaspoon cornstarch water for thickening

Method:
  1. Heat up the oil, sauté chopped garlic and sliced ginger until fragrant.  Add in shiitake mushrooms and stir fry until aromatic. Add in seasoning and simmer at low heat for 15 mins.
  2. Blanch broccoli in boiling salt water until cooked. Dish and drain. Arrange in a circle onto a serving plate.
  3. After simmering, add in Enoki mushrooms if you like. Thicken the mushrooms with cornstarch water and pour into the middle surrounding the  broccoli on the plate and served hot.

* Dried shiitake mushrooms require soaking before you can use them. Preferably soaked for at least 8 hours or overnight.

* Enoki mushroom should be added at the end of cooking to retain its delicate, fruity flavor and crispy texture.
