Homemade Vegetarian Dish




This is one of my favorite dishes. I can eat nothing but just this dish the whole day long. On the second day of Chinese New Year when my mil is around, she will dish out a big pot of 'zhai' or vegetarian dish and everyone in the family will eat nothing but just this dish the entire day.

Yesterday, I cooked this dish and it was such a hit with Sherilyn, the no-meat eater. She loves the 'moke yue' (cloud fungus which is black in color), 'fatt choi' (a kind of nutritious seaweed that's very costly) mushrooms, chinese cabbage and glass noodles.

Ingredients :
1) Chinese cabbage
2) Black flower mushrooms
3) Golden needle mushrooms
4) Glass noodles
5) 'Fatt Choi' (Black seaweed called 'Angel's hair' that resembles human hair)
6) 'Foo Choke' (Soya bean curd sheet)
7) Puffed tofu
8) Dried bamboo fungus
9) 4 - 5 pieces of 'Nam Yue' (fermented tofu pieces that are red in color from China)
10) Vegetarian oyster sauce
11) 'Mok Yue' (dried cloud fungus)


Method of cooking :
1) Fry the fermented tofu pieces with oil in the wok till fragrant.
2) Add all the ingredients in except the chinese cabbage and glass noodles.
3) Stir fry until all the ingredients are fragrant and soft.
4) Add the chinese cabbage into the wok and stir fry.
5) Add in the glass noodles.
6) Add in the vegetarian oyster sauce and mix well.
7) Add in some water and cover the wok to simmer the vegetables for 10-15 minutes.


Yums... mummy.... I love the wig hair ....

Sherilyn enjoying the 'zhai', especially the angel's hair and kept saying they are 'wig hair', LOL!
