Ingredients
- Shiitake mushrooms
- Crab mushrooms
- Enoki mushrooms
- Small red chili peppers
- Green bell peppers
- Cooking oil
- Salt
- Cooking wine (Shaoxing wine)
- Cornstarch
- Light soy sauce
- Chicken bouillon powder
- Green onions
- Ginger
- Oyster sauce
- Broccoli
Steps
- Remove the soil at the root ends of the crab mushrooms and enoki mushrooms, and separate the mushroom caps.
- Slice the shiitake mushrooms (0.5-1 cm thickness; thicker slices are chewier).
- Pour cornstarch into a small bowl, add 50ml water, and stir until the starch has dissolved without any granules (i.e., cornstarch slurry). Set aside.
- Bring water to a boil, add broccoli, boil in fresh water for 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Wash the pot and bring water to a boil again. Add 5g of salt, then pour in the crab mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. Boil for 1 minute.
- After 1 minute, remove and drain the water.
- Heat oil in a pot. Once the oil begins to bubble, stir-fry the ginger, small red chili peppers, and green bell peppers for 30 seconds.
- Add the mushroom mixture, followed by light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken bouillon powder. Stir-fry evenly, then pour in the cornstarch slurry.
- Medium-high heat to thicken the sauce. Add cooking wine and chopped green onions, then remove from the pot.
- Arrange the broccoli on the plate.
