Stir-fried cabbage with oyster mushrooms

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Rinse the fresh oyster mushrooms thoroughly in clean water and remove the stems.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Tear the meat into strips following the grain, but not too thin, or it will lose its texture. Also, don't tear it too thick, or it won't absorb the flavors well.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Blanch in hot water for about 20 seconds, until partially cooked. During the cultivation of mushrooms, unwanted bacteria and impurities can develop; blanching helps remove some of these.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   After removing the oyster mushrooms from the water, rinse them with cold water to remove any scum, then squeeze out the excess water and set aside.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Shred the carrots, slice the garlic, and diagonally cut the cabbage into slightly coarse shreds. Cutting the cabbage diagonally will prevent the fibers from getting stuck in your teeth.

   

6. 06

   Step 6

   Pour vegetable oil into a wok and heat it. Sauté the garlic slices until fragrant, then add the shredded carrots and stir-fry briefly. The carotene in carrots is more easily absorbed by the body when combined with the oil.
