Ingredients (for 1 -2 servings)
- Oyster mushrooms – 150 g
- Vegetarian fin – 8 g (soak for about 3 hours until soft)
- Ginger slices – 2 slices
- Vegetable oil – 2 tablespoons
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
- White pepper powder – ⅓ teaspoon
- Mushroom powder – ⅓ teaspoon
Direction
- Soak the vegetarian fin in water for about 3 hours until soft. Set aside.
- Heat a pan and add vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ginger slices and sauté over medium heat until fragrant.
- Add the oyster mushrooms and stir-fry over high heat to release their aroma.
- Add salt, white pepper powder, and mushroom powder. Continue to stir-fry until the mushrooms are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Pour in about 300ml of water and add the soaked vegetarian fin. Cook over high heat for about 12 minutes to ensure the vegetarian fin is fully cooked and has absorbed the flavours of the broth. Since vegetarian fin is made from seaweed, it requires at least 10 minutes of medium-high heat to cook thoroughly.
- Let the liquid reduce slightly, then turn off the heat. Plate and serve hot.
