Stewed Chinese Black Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes until soft, squeeze the excess liquid from the mushrooms. Discard the stems but leave the mushrooms whole.
• Heat a wok or skillet and add the peanut oil. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for a few seconds. Quickly add the stock, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and wine. Reduce heat to low.
• Braise the mushrooms for about seven minutes, stirring constantly, until they have absorbed most of the sauce. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with scallions and serve.

Steps:

• In a large heatproof bowl, cover the dried mushrooms with 4 cups boiling water. In a medium bowl, combine the glass noodles with enough room temperature water to cover. Soak both for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the fermented soybean paste, oyster sauce, bean curd cubes and soy sauce in a small bowl. Mash the bean curd cubes with a fork, and mix thoroughly to form a paste. Set aside.
• Lift the mushrooms out of the water and into a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the soaking water. Squeeze out excess water from the shiitake mushrooms, then trim the shiitake stems and discard. Thinly slice the shiitake caps. With a knife or scissors, trim and discard any tough, craggy bits from the wood ear mushrooms. If they're larger than 2 inches in diameter, cut them in half. Drain the glass noodles and set aside.
• Set a large wok or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the peanut oil. When the sides of the wok begin to smoke, slide in half of the dried tofu skin and fry until light golden brown, 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer the fried tofu skin to a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining dried tofu skin. Reserve the oil in the wok and reduce the heat to medium-low.
• When the reserved oil is shimmering, add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook for 30 seconds. Add the sauce, and toss in the cabbage. Quickly stir to combine so that the sauce completely coats the cabbage. Pour in the reserved mushroom water, leaving behind any grit, and turn the heat up to high. When the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted completely, about 10 minutes.
• Add the wood ear mushrooms, glass noodles, fried tofu skin and carrots. Mix, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has absorbed all the liquid and is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. The dish is done when there is no more liquid pooled at the bottom. Turn off the heat, then stir in the palm sugar and salt, adding more to taste if you'd like. Transfer to a deep serving dish and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat wok add coat with oil. Heat until it smokes add 1 lbs beef and brown over high heat to a deep brown in color and place into a stock pot. Repeat this until all 4 pounds is gone. Add water into the wok and heat over heat for 5 minutes and pour into the stockpot. Add in ginger, brown bean, curd cakes, star anise, onion powder, salt and pour in the wine and soy sauce. Cover with water above the meat mixture and bring to a boil and after 5 minutes go by reduce the heat to a medium low and simmer for 3 hours and add mushrooms and simmer until the meat is tender. Add in the fried tofu cube and return the mixture to a rolling boil and reduce the heat back to a simmer for 15 minutes.
