Am in the mood to create my own XO sauce BUT using mushroom instead. Cuz I been wanting to get rid of the packs of dried mushroom in the fridge. I bough few packs without realizing that I have another 2 packs in the fridge. Yes, that's a very bad habit! I should have checked my stock, write down a shopping list b4 purchasing anything. Haiz... what done cannot be undone and the easiest way to use up these dried mushroom is to cook a sauce.
These sauces are so useful...Toss it with boiled noodles to enjoy simple lunch, pan fried with carrot cake to have a quick tea break, stir fry with fried tau kua as a dish for dinner... lots and lots more.
Simple ingredients;
Dried mushroom, soaked in hot water, squeeze dry and chopped into small bits
Chopped garlic
Minced bean paste
Chili paste
Oyster sauce
Stock
Oil for frying
-Fry shallots in oil till golden brown, add garlic and continue frying for a min.
-Add mushroom, fry for a min. (adding more oil if necessary)
-Add bean paste, chili paste and oyster sauce.
-Stir in 1 tbsp stock, bring to boil and simmer until thickens.
-Remove from heat and let it cool.
