Just like me, my husband is also a crazy mushroom lover. That’s why I cooked this dish on his birthday.

  1. Preheat oven to 200 Degree C.
  2. Wash mushrooms (I was using white bottom mushroom). Remove the stems.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a pan. When butter melted, add in mushroom. Fry for 2 mins with medium heat. Flip over and fry for another 2 mins.
  4. Season with salt and pepper. Add in 1/4 cup stock or water. bring to boil..Simmer with low heat for 3-5 mins.
  5. Prepare a baking pan. Spread chopped garlic at the bottom. Place mushroom with stock over garlic. Then top with some extra chopped garlic.
  6. Into the oven and bake for 10 mins.
  7. Garnish with parsley.

Smells and tastes very good.

A Good Way To Consume Leftover Curry

Leave a comment

I cook curry occasionally.

Curry Chicken

One problem is that every time chicken and potato will be eaten but plenty of curry sauce is leftover. Actually, curry sauce is very tasty, I was wondering if I could use the leftover sauce to make a stew or something.

  1. Prepare shiitake mushroom (wash and cut into wedges), tofu (cut into small chunks) and French beans (trim two ends).
  2. Pour the curry into a pot. After chilled in fridge for overnight, it already became paste. Also pour in 1/2 – 1 cup water, depends on how thick your curry paste is.
  3. Add in some extra curry powder if necessary. Just in case water makes the curry flavor lighter. and also add in 1 tablespoon tomato sauce. Stir gently.
  4. When the curry boils, add in shiitake mushroom and tofu pieces. Turn to low heat. Let the mushroom and tofu braise in curry for a while. Let’s say at least 10-15 mins to make the flavor go in.
  5. Put the Frech beans in. You can break the beans into halves if you think they are too long. Simmer for another 5 mins.
  6. Season with salt.

Tofu is so juicy and full of curry favor. I really like this way to reform curry and also use it to the utmost.

Egg Stuffed Mushroom

Since last time I cooked portobello mushroom last time, my husband had deeply fallen in love with this giant brown mushroom. He required to buy some portobello mushroom when we went out for shopping.

One of my hobbies is to explore the different cooking method for different ingredient. So I decided to try this dish with this mushroom. It’s quite easy.

  1. preheat oven to 180 Degree c.
  2. wash portobello mushroom gently in water. Then wipe them dry with kitchen towels.
  3. remove the stem. Also use a spoon to scratch off the black gills to save more room for egg.
  4. brush mushroom with butter.
  5. sprinkle a little salt over the mushroom. Only a very little is enough.
  6. place mushroom in baking try, better with a parchment paper underneath. crack an egg onto the gill of each mushroom.
  7. sprinkle cheese, black gills scratched off  and chopped spring onion on egg. Avoid egg yolk.

Into the oven for 15-18 mins. Or till cheese melted and egg is done.

I kind of forgot to take the mushroom out, so my egg was overly done a bit. 😦

But my husband still loves them. 🙂

Steak & Portobello Mushroom

1 Comment

This is the first time for me to cook Portobello mushroom. They are really big and look like a giant brown umbrella.

For steak:

1. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat a pan. A little oil in. Sear the steak for about 3 mins.

3. Flip the steak over. Cut in a cube of butter. And add in 2 cloves of garlic and dried thyme (fresh thyme will be better, but I didn’t have any at that time).

4. Fry for about 3 mins. Use a spoon, to scoop better and spread over steak. Sear the edge side too.

Steak in the plate and rest.

To cook Portobello mushroom:

Remove the Portobello mushroom’s stem first and wash clean.

1. Heat a pan. Cut in a small cube of butter.

2. When butter melts, add the mushroom in with cap side down. Sear for 3 mins. If your mushroom is really really big, probably you will need 5 mins. Keep the heat low, don’t burn the mushroom.

3. Add 1 drop of soy sauce onto the stem hole of each mushroom.

4. Flip the mushroom over, sear the other side for 3 mins with the lid on.

5. A lot of juice will come out. Use a spatula, and press the mushroom gently to squeeze the juice out.

6. Flip over and squeeze the other side. Keep cooking till the juice evaporates.

Serve steak with mushroom.

Mushroom is really juicy and tender. Portobello Mushroom just became my husband’s favorite mushroom. He couldn’t stop saying “delicious”. 🙂

Deep Fried Mushroom

3 Comments

Hmmm. I am crazy addicted to mushroom. Mushroom is a must-have thing in my fridge. My husband likes them too, but definitely not as crazy as I do. Fried mushroom is a dish he likes very much. Yet, he only had them in restaurant and usually a small portion of fried mushroom will cost S$ 6+. If cooked at home, this dish is much cheaper.

And last time, when I cooked fried chicken followed YouTube’s NO 1 video, there was some flour and sauce left. I try to avoid wasting any ingredient in my kitchen. Fried mushroom came to my head. That sounds a good idea. So i used left ingredients to make this dish.

Ingredients I used is the leftover of fried chicken. You can please check my previous blog:

https://foodrecipe33.com/2018/11/06/my-experiment-on-fried-chicken-followed-youtubes-no-1-fried-chicken-recipe/

1. Beat 1 egg in a bowl, add in 3 tablespoon water and 1/3 cup chili sauce.

2. Add in 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp paprika powder, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp garlic powder. Mix them well till smooth and no flour lumps.

3. Cut mushrooms into halves. Here I used Shiitake mushroom.

4. Dip mushroom in the batter first, then roll in bread crumbs. Shake off the excessive.

5. Deep fry till golden brown.

They are really crispy and tasty. You can serve it with mayonnaise.
