Stir fry Shimeji Mushroom with Vegetable

Shimeji mushroom looks like a glooming Chrysanthemum flower and it has a 'cutie' look. Shimeji mushroom grow on trees, tasty with a peppery flavor and great in stir-fries (reference from Food Subs). Shimeji mushroom need to be cooked. Since it is suitable for stir-fries, it will be great to stir fry them with some minced chicken or beef. Combine with some green leafy vegetable could be awesome. A perfect healthy dish for the whole family. It tastes really good! I love the little crunch and the smooth texture of the mushroom; it is simply savory with a plate of hot steamed rice.

I personally prefer baby nai bai chai (小奶白菜), I have no idea what is the name in English, it looks like the baby bok choy with a milky white steam, that is the reason it called 小奶白菜 (baby milky vegetable). It has the crunchy bites and suitable for stir-fries or making vegetable soup. I like the stir-fry way or just simply blanch with hot boiling water; serve with oyster sauce and fried shallots.

By combining, 小奶白菜, Shimeji mushroom and chicken breast meat, added some seasoning and oyster sauce, this dish is simply awesome for a revealing, simple and healthy side dish for lunch or dinner. The sauce that soaked into the 小奶 白 菜, brings the vegetable more savory and indeed a perfect mixture of them. If you want a quick, healthy and easy to cook daily dish, this could be one of the choices! Give it a try!
