Mushroom

After eating days of comfort food of porridge and mee sua, my tongue is really really yearning for something else.

I rummaged through the fridge and the kitchen cupboards to find myself with not much options beside instant noodles.

Sianz...

I didn't give up....then in a tucked away corner of the fridge, I saw this recycled container from those take away hawker food. Well, inside was my grandma's handmade fried and minced mushroom stalks.

I totally forgot that I had this.

My grandma brought this over during her 1st visit to my new home. She knows I is LiiiKeee her mushroom stalks. This is her own concoction. We usually throw away the stalks of the black chinese mushroom, or either, we cooked them together with our dishes. My grandma will pluck them and keep aside. Until she gathers enough, soak them and then grind until look like "Hay Bee Hiam". And she will fry them till crispy! When I was a child, I would scoop the mushroom stalks into my rice, stir them up and finish the whole bow!

So I thought since the Italians can have pasta with just olive oil and cheese, I can definitely whip up a dish with fried and minced mushroom stalks!!

So, here....my lunch.





Although it may not look "wow", but it definitely tastes great. YUMMY!!!!

I is a mushroom addict!!
