– Cabbage
– Oyster mushrooms
– Salt – Oyster sauce – Seasoning powder (or MSG) – Cooking oil – Scallions, ginger, garlic – Bird’s eye chili – Egg.
Preparation steps
Step 1. Preparation
First, cut the cabbage in half and remove the tough stem. Then, slice the cabbage into thin, bite-sized strips and set them aside on a plate.
For the oyster mushrooms, tear them into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. In a separate small bowl, crack an egg and beat it with a pair of chopsticks.
Step 2: Blanching the mushrooms
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the mushrooms to soften them. Once they turn a darker shade, remove them from the heat and drain the water.
Step 3: Stir-frying
Heat some cooking oil in a wok or a large pan. Pour the beaten egg into the pan and fry it. Once the egg is cooked, use a spatula to cut it into small pieces, which will help absorb the flavors during stir-frying. Remove the egg from the pan and set it aside.
Add a little more cooking oil to the pan and sauté the scallions, ginger, garlic, and bird’s eye chili. Next, add the sliced cabbage and stir-fry evenly.
When the cabbage starts to soften, add the blanched mushrooms and continue stir-frying. Season with salt, oyster sauce, and seasoning powder. Stir-fry over high heat for about 2 minutes. Finally, add the egg and mix well for another minute before turning off the heat and serving.
Your cabbage and oyster mushroom stir-fry with egg is now ready to be enjoyed!
This dish has a delicate, natural sweetness and is highly nutritious and easy to prepare. If you like it, don’t hesitate to give it a try in your kitchen!
Tips for a delicious dish:
– When preparing the mushrooms, make sure to check if they are cooked by observing the color change. Once they turn a darker shade, they are ready to be removed from the heat.
– While frying the egg, you can use a spatula to cut it into smaller pieces, allowing it to better absorb the flavors. This ensures that you’ll get a tasty, savory bite with a natural sweetness when eating.
– During the stir-frying process, always sauté the scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili first before adding the vegetables. Maintaining this order is crucial to ensuring a flavorful and appealing dish.
