Bamboo Shoots and Oyster Mushroom

Introduction:

Bamboo shoots and mushrooms like the oyster mushrooms are two of the most popular ingredients for cooking. You can see them in different variety of Chinese foods.

So it would be a pity without introducing some recipes for them to the visitors of the website.

Ingredients:

Tender bamboo shoots: 200 g

Fresh oyster mushrooms: 75 g

Seasonings:

Vegetable soup stock: 100 g

MSG: 3 g

Soy sauce: 10 g

Salt: 4 g

White sugar: 5 g

Melted starch: 15 g

Sesame oil: 15 g

Vegetable oil: 25 g

Preparation Work:

1. Remove the stems from the mushrooms, and rinse them clean;

2. Cut the bamboo shoots into small blocks;

Cooking Steps:

1. Put the wok on high heat with the vegetable oil;

2. Drop the bamboo shoot blocks into the wok and stir-fry a little bit after the oil gets hot;

3. Pour the vegetable soup stock and the oyster mushrooms into the wok immediately following Step 2;

4. Add the soy sauce, salt and white sugar in after boiling for 2 minutes;

5. Add the MSG in and thicken the soup with melted starch after another half minute;

6. Spray some sesame oil onto the dish before dishing out.

Cooking Tips:

The oyster mushrooms can be substituted for shiitake or Chinese black mushrooms. The latter would be better because they can add some color to the whole dish.

It’s not easy to cook the bamboo shoots. I mean that it would take a relatively long time to make them done. I used the processed ones that were bought from the super market.
