Oyster Mushroom Soup

-





I like eating mushroom. It is a delicious and versatile vegetable packed with umami flavor. Mushroom soup, stir fried mushroom, crispy fried mushroom, mushroom fillings, I love them all. The unique flavor of mushroom make soups and tom yum tastier. 

Today I bought a packet of oyster mushroom at nearby store. It looks and smell fresh. I decided to cook a clear mushroom soup with it. And I combined it with some other ingredients. It is tasty when eaten with hot white rice. You can also eat it on its own. Lets look at the recipe. 

For 3 to 4 people. 

Ingredients

7 garlics minced
3 shallots sliced
3 bird eye chili crushed
1 fish cake sliced thinly
1 1/2 cup water
1 anchovies stock/cube
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
Vegetable stock (optional)
1 Pak choy cut according to your preference
3 chives cut 1 inch long
3 cups oyster mushroom, tear to a smaller pieces according to your preference
Cooking oil, around 3 tablespoons


Methods

Heat the cooking oil in a pot.
Saute fish cake until a bit golden, or cooked.
Add in garlic and chili.
Add in shallot. Fry until aromatic. 
Add in water.
Add in oyster sauce, vegetable stock and anchovies stock.
When the soup comes to a boil, add in chives.
Add in Pak choy.
Add in salt. 
Lastly, add in mushroom and turn off the heat in 2 or 3 minutes.
Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes before serving, to let the mushroom flavor spread in the soup. 




I hope you enjoy the recipe. Thank you for visiting.

However the spiciness of the chili has been largely reduced because the chili is cooked and the seeds are removed before stuffing in the coconut filling. Usually sardine and mackerel fish are used to make Solok Lada.  Solok Lada is delicious when eaten with Nasi Kerabu which has a mixed flavor from fresh minced vegetables and herbs, spicy coconut sauce (tumis), grated coconut sambal and budu (anchovies sauce).
