Triple Mushroom, Lotus Root, and Soybean Skin

Friday, April 5, 2013

I kind of really fell off the planet for almost two years. Becoming a first time mom is tough, at least it really kicked me in the butt. It took me a long time to get back in the game (I hope you’ve noticed the new regularity in posting!) and then I realized: things had really changed since my “maternity leave”. What are all these new social media platforms? Panic! It was really daunting at first, especially because there was so many. I stalled several times yet once I did it, it quickly became habitual to take pictures of Caya on Instagram and plan out future home reno projects on Pinterest. And, thanks to the encouragement of Jackie and Blanca, I’m on Google+ now too. (I’m still a little lost on G+ but Chef Dennis Littley has a very helpful Community Education Series). So follow me on Instagram and Pinterest, and circle me on Google+. I’m back from the dead!

New social media platforms can seem scary to approach at first and so can unfamiliar ingredients. This beautifully earthy dish has some not-so-standard ingredients. Don’t fret; I’m here to walk you through.

Mushroom Lo Mein

Friday, September 10, 2010

With Labor Day and Rosh Hashana this week, our kitchen renovation has been on hold, although deliveries did come in. I received all of our appliances on Wednesday. I wanted to do a little dance around my 6 burner stove and 12″ grill. The exhaust is massive, like a bathtub! The fridge didn’t fit through our door so the refrigerator doors had to be removed and put back on. Today, all of our cabinetry will be delivered. We’re close to the finish line!

Until then, we’re still at my parent’s house where mom is dutifully making dishes for me. I decided on a noodle dish and my mom suggested Mushroom Lo Mein, a simple and light dish she often throws together for lunch when she’s by herself. It’s vegetarian, full of mushroom flavor, and a variety of textures. My mom used celery this time but sometimes uses napa cabbage, whichever one she has on hand. The flavor is different but equally delicious.

Five Mushrooms in Vegetarian Oyster Sauce

Saturday, January 3, 2009

You might remember seeing this dish, a glorious dish of mushrooms, we just had at Jade Asian Restaurant. I loved it so much, I wanted to replicate it. Coincidentally, my mom was thinking the same thing and had just made the dish for New Year’s. She told me that the key was using Vegetarian Oyster Sauce, which is actually made from mushroom flavoring. She recommends the Wan Ja Shan brand.

There are some notable ingredients in this dish. First, I used a vegetable that was labeled baby bok choy at the market but it’s not, here’s a pic since I don’t know the name.

Oxtail Mushroom Soup

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

This soup has some of my favorite stuff, beef oxtails, sa cha sauce, and a plethora of mushrooms. Obviously, Lon was not home for dinner tonight. (Lon is slowly easing them into his diet though.) This big pot of soup will store well in the fridge and reheat well any time. It’s comforting and diverse, good for any family. Serve with rice, noodles, rice cake (the Asian one, not the styrofoam stuff), or even bread.
