This is another simple dish that I often cook for my family. On normal days, I will leave out the black moss and dried oysters and it is only during special occasions that I add these in.
The ingredients are xiao bai cai, mince pork, dried mushrooms (wash and soak overnight), dried oysters (wash and soak), black moss (soak), garlic (chop), sesame oil and seasonings - salt, soy sauce and pepper. The steps are:
- Carefully remove the xiao bai cai from the stalks. Wash them. Boil a pot of water and get ready a pot of cold water. When the water is boiling, blanch the xiao bai cai for a few minutes. Remove and put them into the pot of cold water to stop them from cooking further. Then take them out and arrange them on a serving plate. Set aside.
- Cut the soaked mushrooms into cubes.
- Cut the dried oysters into half if they are big. Or use them as they are if they are of smaller size.
- Drain the black moss.
- Put some sesame oil into the kuali and saute the garlic. Once the garlic is fragrant, add in the dried mushrooms. Stir until they are fragrant. Then, add in the mince pork and dried oysters. Add in the seasonings. Let the pork, mushrooms and oysters simmer for about 10 minutes. Once the pork is cooked and the mushroom and oysters are soft, add in the black moss. Once the sauce boils, turn off the fire and dish them out onto the serving plate with the xiao bai cai.
Note: You may substitute pork with chicken.
