A=Asparagus
B=Bunoshimeji Mushroom
I’m happy with the variety of mushrooms nowadays as compared to 2 years ago, where shiitake and enoki conquers all. Now, there are lotsa Japanese / Korean mushrooms (Bunoshimeji, shimeji, Eryngii) and even Portobello and fresh button mushroom. Now that makes me a happy person cause I’m a mushroom fan.

(Photo from hereandtherejapan.blogspot.com) – because I didnt take any “before” photos; too eager to cook
Fair enough, I happened to buy some tiny asparagus from the market at a cheap price because its their last packet and I’m their usual customer. It was a huge bunch. Immediately I was thinking of some asparagus tart or some quiche. But oh well I dont think my family take “tart” as starters or a meal. Being Chinese, we like to have a few dishes on the table (meat, vege, tofu etc) and savour them with rice (uh, staple stuff)
So what happened was I blanched the asparagus in salted water. Set aside.
Heat wok with oil and sesame oil. Stir in mushrooms. Add in oyster sauce and a tiny amount of soy sauce.
Add in the asparagus, a little bit of water. Stir stir stir. Done!






I’m not one to be too adventurous with mushrooms but your dish has inspired me to try something different!

you’re right about at last having a REAL variety of oriental mushrooms. I live in Paris, and the choice is more sparse than London. Having said that there is a “giant” variety of the button mushroom. The body is roughly the size of the cardboard center of a roll of toilet paper [excuse the comparison, but it's the only thing that came to mind !!].
the mushroom is quite delicious, just gently fried in butter, garlic and ginger, with a splash of soya sauce at the end.

A lot of countries in asia grow real variety of mushrooms. Anyway, i love the picture, i thought it was some baked goodies, turned out it’s my fave mushroom. I came across this post http://www.foodista.com/2008/06/09/purple-cauliflower/ by the way. I love cauliflower as much as i love mushrooms! Hmmm. colorful mushrooms? anyone?

Hi! I got your blog address from Mark Leslie when I went to an Aussie Uni fair to enquire about Le Cordon Bleu last Nov. I’m going to be doing the same thing you did when you were in Sydney. Is there anything you could recommend for when I’m there, or things that you brought over?
My apologies, I know this is quite a funny question.

Mushrooms are the enhancements to most recipes that are not mentioned enough, and hope you can provide more sample recipes along these lines. Thanks for the added photos! Keep up the great work….http://www.toprecipesource.com
