How to make mushroom sauce

Ingredients: 500g pork, 8-10 dried mushrooms

Seasoning: 2 spoons of light soy sauce, 1 spoon of dark soy sauce, 2 spoons of sweet noodle sauce, 1-2 spoons of sugar, 1 spoon of cooking wine, salt to taste

1. Cut the pork into bean-sized pieces, separating the fat and lean meat; soak the mushrooms in cold water until soft, then cut them into bean-sized pieces. Do not discard the water used to soak the mushrooms.

2. Put the cut fat into the pot, heat it slowly over low heat, and stir-fry the fat.

3. Then put the lean meat into the pan and stir-fry until it changes color.

4. Add 1 spoon of cooking wine, then pour in light soy sauce, and pour the water used to soak the mushrooms into the pot after removing impurities. If the water cannot completely cover the meat by about 1 to 2 cm, add appropriate amount of clean water, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes. Turn the pot over in the middle to prevent sticking.

5. Pour the diced mushrooms into the pot, add dark soy sauce for coloring, add sweet noodle sauce and stir-fry until fragrant. If necessary, add appropriate amount of salt to adjust the saltiness. Continue to cook on low heat for 10 minutes, then add sugar and cook on high heat until the sauce is reduced. The mushroom meat sauce can be directly mixed with rice, noodles or dipped in vegetables, or it can be used as a seasoning to cook other ingredients.
