Chicken Leg Mushroom


I went to a presentation by Chef Theresa Lin “The Julia Child of Taiwan” at the local public library. This is a really easy vegetarian dish. The mushrooms are so meaty, it really is like chicken!

Ingredients

4 large Eringii mushrooms (remove the cap)
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 medium ginger knob, sliced into matchsticks
2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp sugar

Method
  1. Slice mushrooms into thin strips length-wise along the grain. Then cut into smaller pieces, about 1 1/4.
  2. In a wok, over medium, heat oil.
  3. Cook mushrooms and ginger until mushrooms have softened and the outer edges turn brown, but middle has not. Have patience.
  4. Add soy sauce and sugar and cook for a minute.
  5. Take off heat and serve while hot.
Where to eat it? This is the first time I've ever tried it. Track down Theresa Lin and see if she will make it for you!
