Stir Fried Eryngii Mushroom

Fresh Eryngii Mushroom

From Wikipedia, Eryngii (also known as king trumpet mushroom, french horn mushroom, king oyster mushroom) is an edible mushroom native to Mediterranean regions of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, but also grown in parts of Asia.[1] In Chinese, it is called xìng bào gū (杏鮑菇, lit. "almond abalone mushroom").

Pleurotus eryngii may naturally contain chemicals that stimulate the immune system.

I stumbled upon this mushroom while I was shopping at Jusco, the promoter let the shoppers tasted the dish. Hmm..... It tastes delicious, bought a packet home and my family member love it. Its simple, quick and easy to prepare, that is the main reason for people as lazy as me.

Updated on 7th February 2014.  (The eighth day of Lunar Year of the Horse)

I have prepared  a large amount of Dried Shrimp Sambal for my daughter to bring to Melbourne, Australia!  She can still get to enjoy the taste of homeland cuisine while further her study in overseas!   500gms of dried shrimp  were used to prepared and took me more than 2 hours for this time consuming and tedious chores in the kitchen to yield these 2 bottles!  

 

Will keep some at home for ourselves.  These can keep in the fridge for months!

螞蟻上樹 Lettuce wrap

Lettuce Wrap again on Saturday 11th June 2011

Do you think it looks like (螞蟻上樹 ) ants climbing the tree? hehe...

This dish was inspired when Hubby and I with some friends dined at Purple Cane.
The name of the dish is 螞蟻上樹 (literally means ants climbing the tree) but cant remember what is the name in English; literally translation is 'ants climbing on to the tree. I should break the fried mee hoon into smaller pieces so that they looks like ants. To eat, just put the fillings and fried mee hoon on the lettuce, wrap it and dip with chille sauce n 'wallop'.

To prepare -

Deep fry some mee hoon and break into small pieces.

Put some oil in the wok, add minced garlic, add cubed prawns (seasoned with fish sauce, sugar and pepper, a bit of cornflour), cubed taufu, carrot, mushroom etc or any veg or ingredients of your liking, stir fry a while, add seasoning, oyster sauce, salt to taste.
Arrange the lettuce, fried mee hoon and mee hoon resemble 螞蟻上樹 and serve.

Home made Popiah

Popiah ~ My favorite food. The old lady I used to order popiah skin finally decided to call it a day. I have been searching for the replacement for thin and soft texture of popiah skin for some time. My best friend Annie (crazy with popiah like me) found another seller at Pudu market, which I go every week. So near yet so far!
We usually have popiah for lunch and popiah for dinner with friends at my place on sunday or public holidays.
