Simple Recipe - Braised Chinese Mushroom

Cooking has been my daily task ever since I have stopped working. At times you gotta be creative but unfortunately I am not at all a creative person. Not every recipe you google will suit your tastebud.

Since I have many packets of chinese mushroom and the lazy me, just use mushroom to braise as a dish. Though normally I will put in dried oyster, scallop and fish maw which I will use a different recipe. As for below recipe, you will get a mild simple braised chinese mushroom dish, nothing to shout about.





Ingredients:
25 pcs Chinese Mushroom (marinate with 2 tbls sesame oil & 2 tbls oyster sauce)
Ginger (bruised)
Whole Garlic (bruised)

Sauce:
2 tbls Lea & Perrins Worcheshire sauce
2 tbls Sweet Soy Sauce
2 tbls Teriyaki Sauce
1/2 tbls Oyster Sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
Water from soaked mushroom
1 - 2 medium bowl water

Method
Wash the mushroom, soak with hot water
Cut the stem away. Rub with cornflour, then rinse to soften it.
Then use 2 tbls each of sesame oil & oyster sauce marinate overnight in fridge
Is fine if you do not marinate overnight, an hour or more will do

Put 2 tbls cooking oil into a pot
Follow by ginger and garlic
Then mushroom
Add in all listed under sauce above, stir well
Then add waters
Simmer till mushroom tender
Gradually add water mushroom is still not tender

Lastly, if you prefer a thicker sauce, take 1/2 teaspoon starch flour mix with 2 tbls water, add into the pot and boil 1-2 minutes.
