But it turned out to be a delicious dish with pork, egg, carrot, black fungus and cucumber.
It’s not a difficult dish to cook.
Ingredients:
Pork ( cut into pieces, marinate with a little salt, light soy sauce, and starch for 10 or 15 minutes)
Eggs (2 or 3)
Black fungus ( if you use dry ones, please soak them in water for several minutes. Please note that black fungus soaked in water for a long time could be poisonous, so just several minutes is fine. Romove their bottoms, and tear them into small pieces with hands)
Carrot ( chopped into pieces)
Chopped Celery ( because I didnt have cucumber, so I use celery instead. Cucumber would be better. )
Oil, salt, starch, water, sugar, chopped garlic (optional)
1. Make omelet. Take the omelet out once they solidify.
2. Heat a little more oil in the pan. Put the marinated pork slices in. Stir fry till they get brown and take out.
3. If there is no oil in the pan, add in a little. Put in the garlic, then carrot. Stir fry for around 2 minutes, then add in celery (or cucumber ). Stir fry for another minute or two.
4. Put in pork and black fungus. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add in salt, light soy sauce and sugar. Stir fry evenly.
6. Put into the omelet. Stir evenly with the other ingredients.
7. At last pour in a little starchy water and quick stir fry for a minute.
Ready to serve.
This is an easy and quick dish made of vegetables.
1. Chop pumpkin, garlic, celery, and carrot into small pieces.
2. Heat the oil in the pan. Put garlic in first.
3. Then the carrot and celery. Stir fry a little.
4. Pumpkin at last. Stir fry for around 2 minutes.
5. Then add in enough water that covers all the vegetables. Cover the pan with lid.
6. When the vegetables soften, use blender to smash them.
7. Put the smashed mixture of vegetables back into the pan. Heat it again. Because the smashed mixture is very condensed, you can add in some water.
8. Then add a little milk and salt. Keep stirring. It will be done once boiled again. After milk added in, the color will become a little lighter.
You can add a little herbs or spices you like.
And you can also make a little decoration for it. Just spread several milk drops onto the surface, and use a toothpick draw on it. Yeah, I’m not good at it. The white part I drew is not that beautiful.
The soup tastes great. The pumpkin I used is kind of sweet. Carrot and celery make it healthier.
