I made this for CNY 2013 because to a greater extent than or less on my husband’s side prefers vegetarian dishes. They are non vegetarian for religious purposes, but merely for health.
Few years back, I made another braised mushroom dish amongst dried scallops together with oysters for Reunion dinner. Sadly, it wasn’t good received yesteryear the younger ones, except for those inwards a higher house 40. It was barely touched during dinner! Quite deplorable actually.
Luckily, the side yesteryear side day, they were reheated together with eaten yesteryear the older generation.
This time, I tried to a greater extent than or less other agency of braising the mushroom, amongst simpler flavours. I added inwards waterchestnuts for flavouring together with to exercise to a greater extent than or less other texture to the dish.
The effect was pretty skilful together with the waterchestnuts gave the gravy a sweetness together with subtle flavour, but distinct plenty to travel discerned. And it nearly looked similar scallops, when seen from afar.
This time, two large plates of braised mushrooms were swept clean! I wonder if it’s because in that place weren’t many dishes this time, LOL.
