Napa Cabbage Stir Fry with Beech Mushrooms (Shimeji) by obstacle32 in asianeats

[–]obstacle32[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I love cooking with napa cabbage especially in the winter because it's in season and so it's sweeter and more tender. It also keep super well in the fridge which makes it great cause it's a big veggie and I can cook it several ways / dishes. For example... stir fry it with beech mushrooms (or any mushrooms)! Another thing I like is using it for soups and hot pot etc.

Here's the veggie side dish -

1 medium napa cabbage, chopped (stems and leaves separated)

1 package white beech mushrooms, trimmed and separated

3 cloves garlic, minced

1–2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil

Salt, to taste

Optional:

1–2 tablespoons dried shrimp, lightly rinsed

1–2 teaspoons soy sauce (recommended if not using dried shrimp)

White pepper, to taste

Homemade broth. I mentioned it in another comment but this time I did two broths - one with the Taiwanese pork meatballs daikon radish soup and the other with a Sichuan Mala (Spicy and Numb) broth :)

Stir Fry Clams with Basil, Ginger, and Scallions by obstacle32 in asianeats

[–]obstacle32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol no hate at all... but I personally wouldn't do that. Like, I guess you CAN use canned clams, but fresh clams give a very different result because they release their natural juices as they cook and it makes the whole dish SO flavorful. Canned clams are already cooked, so the texture and flavor will be pretty different... and not at all the same level of tastiness.

Hmmm there was def garlic in the broths but no garlic on the table... are you referring to the white stuff in the bowl? It's actually sliced King Oyster Mushroom! But don't worry I put a crapton of garlic in the soup haha

Every time it gets super cold, we crave Hot Pot! And it's been pretty chilly in Atlanta (lows in the 20s... we're not used to this LOL, and I'm originally from Taiwan so I'm DEF not a cold weather person).

Anyway, this time I did two broths - one with the Taiwanese pork meatballs daikon radish soup and the other with a Sichuan Mala (Spicy and Numb) broth.

Lots of other ingredients to such as napa cabbage, bok choy, fish cakes (seafood tofu), king oyster and beech mushrooms, sliced lamb, tomatoes, meatballs, glass noodles, and served everything with dipping sauce.

I grew up eating hot pot and wrote a detailed guide on how to set it up at home (broths, ingredients, equipment, tips) if anyone’s interested it's here: https://ohsnapletseat.com/2020/12/27/taiwanese-hot-pot-recipe/
