Mushroom delight: Fresh Oyster Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce

I accompanied my husband to see his doctor for his regular check-up last week in the cardiac hospital where I work. Our hospital celebrates Nutrition Month for this whole month of July.  Part of the month-long celebration is the putting up of a Food Gallery at the ground lobby where various food entrepreneurs get to showcase their products. So now, let me share this mushroom recipe I got from one of the stalls when I bought a pack of mushroom.

I bought this pack of organically grown mushrooms for P 100.00. After asking the saleslady about the lifespan of the product which she comprehensively answered (2-3 days at room temperature, 2 weeks when refrigerated, months in the freezer), she voluntarily handed me a list of mushroom dishes with recipes by their company, CMAR Mushroom World, located at Jala Jala, Rizal. Here they are...

Fresh Oyster Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce

Ingredients:
1/2 kilo mushrooms
2 tbsps cooking oil
1 cup water
6 tbsps oyster sauce
1/2 head garlic
2 tbsps cornstarch, dissolved in 1/2 cup water


 Steps:
  1. Heat oil in frying pan. Add 1/2 head garlic. When garlic is almost brown, add 1 cup water, salt and   oyster sauce.
  2. Heat to boil, then add cornstarch dissolved in water to the desired consistency.
  3. Put in mushrooms and heat 1 minute. Serve hot.
Preparing and cooking this dish was very easy and fast with only a few ingredients and 1 minute simmer time to cook the mushrooms! Hmmmm... what do you think? I wish I could have purchased more of their products as I still have a few recipes to try from the list given to me. These are Lumpiang Shanghai with Oyster Mushroom, Tempura and Tortang Oyster Mushroom. Till next time!

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
